Are "EIT Waves" Fast-Mode MHD Waves? [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We examine the nature of large-scale, coronal, propagating wave fronts (``EIT waves'') and find they are incongruous with solutions using fast-mode MHD plane-wave theory.

MHD waves in sunspots

open access: yes, 2015
The review addresses the spatial frequency morphology of sources of sunspot oscillations and waves, including their localization, size, oscillation periods, height localization with the mechanism of cut-off frequency that forms the observed emission ...

Wave Decay in MHD Turbulence

open access: yes, 2008
We present a model for nonlinear decay of the weak wave in three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We show that the decay rate is different for parallel and perpendicular waves.

Coronal Heating by MHD Waves [PDF]

open access: yesSpace Science Reviews, 2020
The heating of the solar chromosphere and corona to the observed high temperatures, imply the presence of ongoing heating that balances the strong radiative and thermal conduction losses expected in the solar atmosphere. It has been theorized for decades that the required heating mechanisms of the chromospheric and coronal parts of the active regions ...

Review and comparison of MHD wave characteristics at the Sun and in Earth’s magnetosphere

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2022
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves play a crucial role in the plasma processes of stellar atmospheres and planetary magnetospheres. Wave phenomena in both media are known to have similarities and unique traits typical of each system.

MHD WAVES IN THE COLLISIONAL PLASMA OF THE SOLAR CORONA AND TERRESTRIAL IONOSPHERE

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2020
We have studied MHD waves (Alfvén and fast compressional modes) in a homogeneous collisional three-component low-β plasma. The three-component plasma consists of electrons, ions, and neutrals with arbitrary ratio between collision frequencies and wave ...

Magnetopause MHD surface wave theory: progress & challenges

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Sharp boundaries are a key feature of space plasma environments universally, with their wave-like motion (driven by pressure variations or flow shears) playing a key role in mass, momentum, and energy transfer.

Magnetohydrodynamic waves within the medium separated by the plane shock wave or rotational discontinuity [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2005
Characteristics of small amplitude plane waves within the medium separated by the plane discontinuity into two half spaces are analysed. The approximation of the ideal one-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is used.

Magnetohydrodynamic Mode Conversion in the Solar Corona: Insights from Fresnel-like Models of Waves at Sharp Interfaces

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The solar atmosphere is known to contain many different types of wave-like oscillation. Waves and other fluctuations (e.g., turbulent eddies) are believed to be responsible for at least some of the energy transport and dissipation that heats the corona ...

Nonlinear Fast Magnetosonic Waves in Solar Prominence Pillars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We investigate the properties of nonlinear fast magnetosonic (NFM) waves in a solar prominence, motivated by recent high-resolution and high-cadence Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) observations of small-scale oscillations in a prominence pillar.
