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.

Excitation of Negative Energy Surface Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in an Incompressible Cylindrical Plasma

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the appearance of negative energy surface waves in a plasma cylinder in the incompressible limit and derived dispersion relations, and obtained analytical solutions for the phase speed and growth rate (increment) of the waves.

Kink Oscillations in Solar Coronal Loops with Elliptical Cross Sections. I. The Linear Regime

TL;DR: In this paper, linear kink oscillations in straight, density-enhanced, magnetic cylinders with elliptical cross-sections were examined from an initial-value-problem perspective, and it was shown that the apparent damping of the transverse displacement of the loop axis is accompanied by the accumulation of transverse Alfv\'enic motions and the consequent development of small scales therein.

Transverse oscillation of a coronal loop induced by a flare-related jet

TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale coronal loop with a length of ≥ 350 Mm was observed by a blowout coronal jet, which was related to a C4.2 circular-ribbon flare (CRF) in active region 12434 on 2015 October 16.

- 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.
