A theory of long‐period magnetic pulsations: 2. Impulse excitation of surface eigenmode

TL;DR: In this paper, a wave equation that shows a coupling between a surface wave and a shear Alfven wave is derived, and a theory of long-period magnetic pulsations (Pc 3 to Pc 5) is presented as an initial value problem to explain impulse-excited pulsations.

Decay of MHD waves by phase mixing

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the dispersion relation for plasmas with non-uniform profiles and compared the results with those of a sharp boundary model, showing that the frequency of the waves is a complex quantity having a real and imaginary part.

Kinetic-ballooning-mode theory in general geometry

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic procedure for studying the influence of kinetic effects on the stability of MHD ballooning modes is presented, which includes effects due to finite gyroradius, trapped particles, and wave-particle resonances.
