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.

TL;DR: In this article, two approaches in the interpretation of quasi-periodic pulsations in solar and stellar flares are presented: flaring loops as resonators for magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) oscillations.

Do Coronal Loops Oscillate in Isolation

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model of a loop embedded within an arc is presented, and the eigenmodes of the arc and its eigenvectors become coupled, and it is shown that most loops are too close to other magnetic structures to oscillate in isolation.

Wave propagation in a magnetically structured atmosphere: III: The slab in a magnetic environment

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.
