Reviews of Modern Plasma PhysicsAbstractMacroscopic wave and oscillatory phenomena ubiquitously detected in the plasma of the corona of the Sun are interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic theory. Fast and slow magnetoacoustic waves are clearly distinguished in observations. Properties of coronal magnetohydrodynamic waves are determined by local parameters of the plasma, including

Solar Wind Acceleration by Solitary Waves in Coronal Holes
Astrophysical Journal, 1997 Coronal holes are well-known sources of the high-speed solar wind; however, the exact acceleration mechanism of the fast wind is still unknown. We solve numerically the time-dependent, nonlinear, resistive 2.5-dimensional MHD equations and find that solitary waves are generated in coronal holes nonlinearly by torsional Alfven waves.

Recent advances in solar coronal extreme ultraviolet waves
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering SciencesSolar coronal extreme ultraviolet (EUV) waves are spectacular propagating disturbances in the appearance of EUV emission enhancements in the solar corona, similar to the tsunamis on the Earth. These ‘solar tsunamis’ are closely associated with various solar eruptions, from large-scale coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares to small-scale solar ...

Coronal Waves and Oscillations
Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2005 Wave and oscillatory activity of the solar corona is confidently observed with modern imaging and spectral instruments in the visible light, EUV, X-ray and radio bands, and interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave theory.

Why “Solar Tsunamis” Rarely Leave Their Imprints in the Chromosphere
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Solar coronal waves frequently appear as bright disturbances that propagate globally from the eruption center in the solar atmosphere, just like the tsunamis in the ocean on Earth.

Coronal Transverse Magnetohydrodynamic Waves in a Solar Prominence [PDF]
Science, 2007 Solar prominences are cool 10 4 kelvin plasma clouds supported in the surrounding 10 6 kelvin coronal plasma by as-yet-undetermined mechanisms. Observations from Hinode show fine-scale threadlike structures oscillating in the plane of the sky with periods of several minutes.

Ion-cyclotron waves in solar coronal hole [PDF]
New Astronomy, 2012 We investigate the effect of the Plume/Interplume Lane (PIPL) structure of the solar Polar Coronal Hole (PCH) on the propagation characteristics of ion-cyclotron waves (ICW). The gradients of physical parameters determined by SOHO and TRACE satellites both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field are considered with the aim of determining how ...

The Heating of Solar Coronal Loops by Alfvén Wave Turbulence [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2017 Abstract In this paper we further develop a model for the heating of coronal loops by Alfvén wave turbulence (AWT). The Alfvén waves are assumed to be launched from a collection of kilogauss flux tubes in the photosphere at the two ends of the loop.
