Alfvén Wave Connection between the Chromosphere and the Corona of the Sun: An Analytical Study

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Alfvén waves are closely relevant to the three outstanding problems in the solar corona: coronal heating, solar wind acceleration, and the fractionization of low first ionization potential (FIP) elements.

Alfvén waves: To the 80th anniversary of discovery

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022
The article is dedicated to the anniversary of the discovery of Alfvén waves. The concept of Alfvén waves has played an outstanding role in the formation and development of cosmic electrodynamics.

Geoeffectiveness of Interplanetary Alfvén Waves. II. Spectral Characteristics and Geomagnetic Responses

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using multipoint observations over 10 yr near 1 au, we investigate the spectra (5 minutes to 2 hr) of interplanetary Alfvén waves and the responses in the geomagnetic activities.

Non-propagating electric and density structures formed through non-linear interaction of Alfvén waves [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2012
In the auroral zone of the Earth, the electron acceleration by Alfvén waves is sometimes seen as a precursor of the non-propagating acceleration structures.

The Potential Role of Modified Electron Acoustic Wave and Nonlinear Mode Coupling in Mono‐Energetic Aurora

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Results from a 1D kinetic simulation, for the first time, reveal the important role of modified electron acoustic wave (MEAW) in auroral electron acceleration.

Non-linear spherical Alfvén waves

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998
We present an one-dimensional numerical study of Alfven waves propagating along a radial magnetic field. Neglecting losses, any spherical Alfven wave, no matter how small its initial amplitude is, becomes nonlinear at sufficiently large radii. From previous simulations of Alfven waves in plane parallel atmospheres we did expect the waves to steepen and

Alfvén‐Fast Wave Coupling in a 2D Nonuniform Medium

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2023
A 2D Cartesian simulation is presented and used to solve the ideal, low‐beta, linear magnetohydrodynamics equations. A simulation is used to investigate the propagation of Alfvén waves through inhomogeneities in Alfvén speed and density.
