A high-order well-balanced scheme for the Euler equations with gravitation is\npresented. The scheme is able to preserve a spatially high-order accurate\ndiscrete representation of a large class of hydrostatic equilibria. It is based\non a novel local hydrostatic reconstruction, which, in combination with any\nstandard high-order accurate reconstruction procedure, achieves genuine\nhigh-order accuracy for smooth solutions close or away from equilibrium. The\nresulting scheme is very simple and can be implemented into any existing finite\nvolume code with minimal effort. Moreover, the scheme is not tied to any\nparticular form of the equation of state, which is crucial for example in\nastrophysical applications. Several numerical experiments demonstrate the\nrobustness and high-order accuracy of the scheme nearby and out of hydrostatic\nequilibrium.\n
