Abstract: We study the response of magnetized chiral plasma to transverse electric field and a steady vorticity. By solving chiral kinetic equation in the lowest Landau level approximation, we find the resulting current and stress tensor can be matched consistently with constitutive equations of magnetohydrostatics after we identify a vacuum shift in the case with vorticity. The solution in this case contains both shifts in temperature and chemical potential as well as excitations of the lowest Landau level states. It gives rise to an vector charge density and axial current density. The vacuum parts coming from both shifts and excitations agree with previous studies and the medium parts coming entirely from excitations leads to a new contribution to vector charge and axial current density, which is consistent with standard chiral vortical effect.
