Resonant MHD waves in the solar atmosphere

M Goossens, R Erdélyi, MS Ruderman - Space science reviews, 2011 - Springer
The linear theory of MHD resonant waves in inhomogeneous plasmas is reviewed. The
review starts from discussing the properties of driven resonant MHD waves. The dissipative …

Formation and plasma circulation of solar prominences

C Xia, R Keppens - The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Solar prominences are long-lived cool and dense plasma curtains in the hot and rarefied
outer solar atmosphere or corona. The physical mechanism responsible for their formation …
