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.

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.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review reflects the current trends in the observational study of coronal waves and oscillations (standing kink, sausage and longitudinal modes, propagating slow waves and fast wave trains, the search for torsional waves), theoretical modelling of interaction of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves with plasma structures, and implementation of the theoretical results for the mode identification.

TL;DR: Four topics are focused on: the current controversy surrounding propagating intensity perturbations along coronal loops, the interpretation of propagating transverse loop oscillations, the ongoing search for coronal (torsional) Alfvén waves, and the rapidly developing topic of quasi-periodic pulsations in solar flares.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the physical mechanisms responsible for the generation of long quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) is presented, with the focus on QPPs with the periods longer than one second.
