Coronal loop slow mode oscillations driven by the kink instability
Aims. To establish the dominant wave modes generated by an internal, m = 1 kink instability in a short coronal flux tube. Methods. The 3D MHD numerical simulations are performed using Lare3d to model the kink instability and the subsequent wave generation. The initial conditions are a straight, zero net current flux tube containing a twist higher than the kink instability threshold. Results. It...
متن کاملDamping of vertical coronal loop kink oscillations through wave tunneling
The decay rate of vertical kink waves in a curved flux tube is modeled numerically. The full MHD equations are solved for a curved equilibrium flux tube in an arcade geometry and the decay of ψ, the integral over the flux tube of the modulus of the velocity perpendicular to the local magnetic field, is measured. These simulations are 2D and are thus restricted to kink oscillations in the loop p...
متن کاملDetermination of the coronal magnetic field by coronal loop oscillations
We develop a new method for the determination of the absolute value of the magnetic field strength in coronal closed magnetic structures, based on the analysis of flare-generated oscillations of coronal loops. Interpretation of the oscillations observed in terms of global standing kink waves allows to connect the period of the oscillations and the loops length with the magnetic field strength i...
متن کاملA Study on the Excitation and Resonant Absorption of Coronal Loop Kink Oscillations
We study theoretically the issue of externally driven excitations of standing kink waves and their resonant absorption into torsionally polarized m=1 waves in the coronal loops in pressureless plasmas. We use the ideal MHD equations, for which we develop an invariant imbedding method available in cylindrical geometry. We assume a sinusoidal density profile at the loop boundary where the densi...
متن کاملThe Damping of Coronal Loop Oscillations
Motivated by recent Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) observations of damped oscillations in coronal loops, we consider analytically the motion of an inhomogeneous coronal magnetic tube of radius a in a zeroplasma. An initially perturbed tube may vibrate in its kink mode of oscillation, but those vibrations are damped. The damping is due to resonant absorption, acting in the inhomo...
