Popis: Garay-Avendaño and Zamboni-Rached defined two classes of axisymmetric solutions of the free Maxwell equations. We prove that the linear combinations of these two classes of solutions cover all totally propagating time-harmonic axisymmetric free Maxwell fields – and hence, by summation on frequencies, all propagating axisymmetric free Maxwell fields. It provides an explicit representation for these fields. This will be important, e.g., to have the interstellar radiation field in a disc galaxy modeled as an exact solution of the free Maxwell equations.
