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.

Numerical simulations of fast MHD waves in a coronal plasma

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the temporal evolution of ducted waves in coronal loops (represented by smoothed slabs of enhanced gas density embedded within a uniform magnetic field) by means of numerical simulations and showed that there is an energy leakage from the slab associated with the propagation of wave packets which exhibit periodic, quasi-periodic and decay phases.

First evidence of interaction between longitudinal and transverse waves in solar magnetic elements

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the transversal and longitudinal velocity oscillations in small magnetic elements and found buffeting-induced transverse oscillations with velocity amplitudes of the order of 1-2 km s −1 and ∼0.4 km s−1, respectively.

Fast magnetoacoustic wave trains of sausage symmetry in cylindrical waveguides of the solar corona

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cylindrical geometry on the fast sausage wave train formation were investigated, and the wave trains were found to have pronounced period modulation, with the longer instant period seen in the beginning of the wave train.

Observations of Coronal Mass Ejections with the Coronal Multichannel Polarimeter

TL;DR: In this article, a list of CMEs observed by CoMP was identified and the first results of these observations were presented, showing that CME are usually associated with greatly increased Doppler shift and enhanced line width.

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.
