Coronal loops are the building blocks of the X-ray bright solar corona. They owe their
brightness to the dense confined plasma, and this review focuses on loops mostly as …

The question of what heats the solar corona remains one of the most important problems in
astrophysics. Finding a definitive solution involves a number of challenging steps, beginning …

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 …

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 …

ABSTRACT Motivated by recent Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE)
observations of damped oscillations in coronal loops, we consider analytically the motion of …

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 …

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 …

For many years it has been debated whether the quiet solar corona is heated by nanoflares
and microflares or by magnetic waves. In this paper TRACE data of events with energies in …
