By spectral analysis and energy methods, we obtain the optimal time decay estimate of the solution. We show that the global classical solution converges to its equilibrium state at the same decay rate as the solution of the linearized equations. Key words

Φ(x, t) are the density, momentum, magnetic field, and electric potential. The pressure P = P (ρ) is a smooth function with P ′ (ρ) > 0 for ρ > 0. µ, λ are the viscosity coefficients of the flow satisfying µ > 0 and 2µ + 3λ ≥ 0. The constant ν > 0 is the magnetic diffusivity acting as the magnetic diffusion coefficient of the magnetic field. ρ¯ is the positive constant background ionic density. We complement (1.1) with the Cauchy data ˜ ∇Φ)(x, 0) = (˜ ˜0 (x), ∇Φ0 (x)) → (¯ (˜ ρ, m, ˜ B, ρ0 (x), m ˜ 0 (x), B ρ, 0, 0, 0) as |x| → ∞.

When we neglect the viscous terms, that is, λ = ν = µ = 0, (1.1) will become the compressible ideal MHD-Poisson equations, which can describe some important phenomena in astrophysics; e.g. solar flares (cf. [3, 27, 35]). For ideal MHD-Poisson equations, Federbush, Luo and Smoller [11] first proved the existence of axi-symmetric stationary solutions when γ > 2 by a variational method. Wang and Liu [31] proved the existence of stationary solutions when γ > 43 . Jang, Strauss, and Wu [17] proved the existence of axi-symmetric stationary solutions with a
