A note on the structure of positive ions in liquid 4He

Evidence that the positive ion in liquid 4He forms a solid core with a solid-liquid interface is examined in the light of new analytic solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. It is found that the existing evidence does not decisively favor the picture that a solid core is formed.
