TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the nature of oscillations in a magnetic cylinder embedded in magnetic environment and showed that the standard slender flux tube analysis of a kink mode in a cylinder excludes the possibility of a second mode, which arises under photospheric conditions.
Abstract
The nature of oscillations in a magnetic cylinder embedded in a magnetic environment is investigated. It is shown that the standard slender flux tube analysis of a kink mode in a cylinder excludes the possibility of a second mode, which arises under photospheric conditions. Under coronal conditions, two widely separated classes of oscillation can be freely sustained, one on an acoustic time-scale and the other on an Alfvenic time-scale. The acoustic-type oscillations are always present, but the much shorter period, Alfvenic-type, oscillations arise only in high density (strictly, low Alfven velocity) loops. An application to waves in fibrils is also given, and suggests (following Wentzel, 1979) that they are fast kink waves propagating in a density enhancement.

Dissipating the energy of magnetoacoustic waves in a structured atmosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the distances over which magnetohydrodynamic waves will propagate in a non-ideal, magnetic, compressible medium, representing the solar corona structured by the presence of loops of denser material, are considered.

Magnetohydrodynamic waves in a gravitationally stratified fluid

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of buoyancy in the propagation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in a gravitationally stratified medium has been investigated, and it has been shown that the global resonance is a rather robust phenomenon and may be an important mechanism in supplying energy into the higher solar atmosphere.

Resonant damping of kink oscillations of thin expanding magnetic tubes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the resonant damping of kink oscillations of thin expanding magnetic flux tubes and showed that under the condition of homogeneous stratification, the ratio of the decrement to the oscillation frequency is independent of a particular form of the density variation along the tube.

Fast Standing Modes in Transversely Nonuniform Solar Coronal Slabs: Effects of a Finite Plasma Beta

TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersive properties of linear fast standing modes in transversely nonuniform solar coronal slabs with finite gas pressure, or, equivalently, finite plasma beta, were examined.

P.M. Edwin, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1982 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation of waves in a magnetic slab embedded in magnetic environment is investigated and possible modes of propagation are examined from the general dispersion relation, both analytically and numerically, for disturbances which are evanescent in the environment.
