  We study BPS vortex configurations in three dimensional U(N) Yang-Mills
theories with Chern-Simons interaction coupled to scalar fields carrying
flavor. We consider two kind of configurations: local vortices (when the number
of flavors $N_f=N$), and semi-local vortices (when $N_f>N$). In both cases we
carefully analyze the electric and magnetic properties and present explicit
numerical solutions.
