The corona of the Sun is a unique environment in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
waves, one of the fundamental processes of plasma astrophysics, are open to a direct study …

Recent observations have revealed that magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and
oscillations are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere, with a wide range of periods. We give a …

Determining the heating mechanism (or mechanisms) that causes the outer atmosphere of
the Sun, and many other stars, to reach temperatures orders of magnitude higher than their …

The chromosphere is a thin layer of the solar atmosphere that bridges the relatively cool
photosphere and the intensely heated transition region and corona. Compressible and …

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) oscillatory processes in different plasma systems, such as the
corona of the Sun and the Earth's magnetosphere, show interesting similarities and …

Prominences are intriguing, but poorly understood, magnetic structures of the solar corona.
The dynamics of solar prominences has been the subject of a large number of studies, and …

Magnetic waves are a relevant component in the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Their
significance has increased because of their potential as a remote diagnostic tool and their …

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 …

Alfvén waves are considered to be viable transporters of the non-thermal energy required to
heat the Sun's quiescent atmosphere. An abundance of recent observations, from state-of …

Characterized by cyclic axisymmetric perturbations to both the magnetic and fluid
parameters, magnetohydrodynamic fast sausage modes (FSMs) have proven useful for …
