A CORONAL SEISMOLOGICAL STUDY WITH STREAMER WAVES

Coronal Waves, Shock Formation and Coronal Mass Ejections

Coronal loop oscillations and flare shock waves

A statistical analysis of coronal loop oscillations observed by TRACE shows that 12 of 28 cases were associated with metric type II bursts. The timing is consistent with the idea that the loop oscillations in many cases result from the passage of a large-scale wave disturbance originating in a flare in the nearby active region. The GOES classifications for these flares range from C4.2 to X20. T...

Large-scale Globally Propagating Coronal Waves

Large-scale, globally propagating wave-like disturbances have been observed in the solar chromosphere and by inference in the corona since the 1960s. However, detailed analysis of these phenomena has only been conducted since the late 1990s. This was prompted by the availability of high-cadence coronal imaging data from numerous spaced-based instruments, which routinely show spectacular globall...

Slow magnetoacoustic waves in coronal loops

A theoretical model interpreting propagating disturbances of EUV emission intensity, recently observed in coronal loops, is constructed in terms of slow magnetoacoustic waves. The model is one-dimensional and incorporates effects of nonlinearity, dissipation due to finite viscosity and thermal conduction, and gravitational stratification of plasma in the loop. It has been found that, for the ob...

Propagating magnetohydrodynamics waves in coronal loops.

High cadence Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observations show that outward propagating intensity disturbances are a common feature in large, quiescent coronal loops, close to active regions. An overview is given of measured parameters of such longitudinal oscillations in coronal loops. The observed oscillations are interpreted as propagating slow magnetoacoustic waves and are un...
