Coronal loops: observations and modeling of confined plasma

F Reale - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2014‏ - Springer
Coronal loops are the building blocks of the X-ray bright solar corona. They owe their
brightness to the dense confined plasma, and this review focuses on loops mostly as …

Coronal waves and oscillations

VM Nakariakov, E Verwichte - Living reviews in solar physics, 2005‏ - Springer
Wave and oscillatory activity of the solar corona is confidently observed with modern
imaging and spectral instruments in the visible light, EUV, X-ray and radio bands, and …

Magnetohydrodynamic waves and coronal seismology: an overview of recent results

I De Moortel, VM Nakariakov - … Transactions of the …, 2012‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Recent observations have revealed that magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and
oscillations are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere, with a wide range of periods. We give a …

Multiwavelength studies of MHD waves in the solar chromosphere: An overview of recent results

DB Jess, RJ Morton, G Verth, V Fedun, SDT Grant… - Space Science …, 2015‏ - Springer
The chromosphere is a thin layer of the solar atmosphere that bridges the relatively cool
photosphere and the intensely heated transition region and corona. Compressible and …

Coronal loop oscillations-An interpretation in terms of resonant absorption of quasi-mode kink oscillations

M Goossens, J Andries, MJ Aschwanden - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002‏ - aanda.org
Damped quasi-mode kink oscillations in cylindrical flux tubes are capable of explaining the
observed rapid dam** of the coronal loop oscillations when the ratio of the inhomogeneity …

Resonant MHD waves in the solar atmosphere

M Goossens, R Erdélyi, MS Ruderman - Space science reviews, 2011‏ - Springer
The linear theory of MHD resonant waves in inhomogeneous plasmas is reviewed. The
review starts from discussing the properties of driven resonant MHD waves. The dissipative …

Wave heating of the solar atmosphere

I Arregui - … Transactions of the Royal Society A …, 2015‏ - royalsocietypublishing.org
Magnetic waves are a relevant component in the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Their
significance has increased because of their potential as a remote diagnostic tool and their …

Time–distance seismology of the solar corona with CoMP

S Tomczyk, SW McIntosh - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We employ a sequence of Doppler images obtained with the Coronal Multi-channel
Polarimeter (CoMP) instrument to perform time–distance seismology of the solar corona. We …

Characteristics of transverse oscillations in a coronal loop arcade

E Verwichte, VM Nakariakov, L Ofman, EE Deluca - Solar Physics, 2004‏ - Springer
TRACE observations from 15 April 2001 of transverse oscillations in coronal loops of a post-
flare loop arcade are investigated. They are considered to be standing fast kink oscillations …

Persistent Doppler shift oscillations observed with Hinode/EIS in the solar corona: spectroscopic signatures of Alfvénic waves and recurring upflows
