TRACE observation of damped coronal loop oscillations: implications for coronal heating

TL;DR: The imaging telescope on board the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer spacecraft observed the decaying transversal oscillations of a long and thin coronal loop in the 171 angstrom Fe(IX) emission line, finding the coronal dissipation coefficient to be eight to nine orders of magnitude larger than the theoretically predicted classical value.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of the coronal magnetic field by coronal loop oscillations

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for the determination of the magnetic field strength in coronal closed magnetic structures, based on the analysis of flare-generated oscillations of coronal loops, was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cone model for halo CMEs: Application to space weather forecasting

TL;DR: In this article, the angular width and propagation orientation of halo CMEs were determined by using coronagraph data, which can be used to optimize Space Weather Forecasts, and the results showed that the applied model predications are in good agreement with observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hot coronal loop oscillations observed by SUMER: Slow magnetosonic wave damping by thermal conduction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a one-dimensional MHD code to model the Doppler shift oscillations and the damping of slow magnetosonic waves in a model coronal loop and found that the decay time due to compressive viscosity alone is an order of magnitude longer than the observed decay times.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of transverse oscillations in a coronal loop arcade

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated transverse oscillations in coronal loops of a post-flare loop arcade and deduced oscillation signatures such as displacement amplitude, period, phase and damping time.
