" Waves and Oscillations in the Solar Corona ". Valery M. Nakariakov
(University of Warwick, United Kingdom) Abstract: Wave and oscillatory phenomena are confidently observed with modern
imaging and spectral instruments in the visible light, EUV, X-ray and radio
bands in all parts of the solar corona. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave theory
gives satisfactory interpretation of these phenomena in terms of MHD modes of
coronal structures. The talk reviews the current trends in the observational
study of coronal waves and oscillations (with the main emphasis on the
standing kink and sausage modes, and propagating fast waves), recent
development of theoretical modelling of interaction of MHD waves with plasma
structures, and implementation of the theoretical results for the mode
identification. Also the use of MHD waves for remote diagnostics of coronal
plasma - Coronal Seismology - is discussed and the applicability of this
method for the estimation of coronal magnetic field and fine structuring is
demonstrated. |
