Review of the Magnetohydrodynamic Waves and Their Stability in Solar Spicules and X-Ray Jets
One of the most enduring mysteries in solar physics is why the Sun’s outer atmosphere, or corona, is millions of kelvins hotter than its surface. Among suggested theories for coronal heating is one that considers the role of spicules – narrow jets of plasma shooting up from just above the Sun’s surface – in that process (Athay & Holzer, 1982; Athay, 2000). For decades, it was thought that spicu...
متن کاملDamping of visco-resistive Alfven waves in solar spicules
Interaction of Alfven waves with plasma inhomogeneity generates phase mixing which can cause the dissipation of Alfven waves. We investigated the dissipation of standing Alfven waves due to phase mixing at the presence of steady flow and sheared magnetic field in solar spicules. Moreover, the transition region between chromosphere and corona was considered. Our numerical simulation showed that ...
متن کاملSlow magnetohydrodynamic waves in the solar atmosphere.
There is increasingly strong observational evidence that slow magnetoacoustic modes arise in the solar atmosphere, either as propagating or standing waves. Sunspots, coronal plumes and coronal loops all appear to support slow modes. Here we examine theoretically how the slow mode may be extracted from the magnetohydrodynamic equations, considering the special case of a vertical magnetic field i...
متن کاملGeneration of Alfvén Waves by Small-Scale Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Spicules
Alfvén waves dissipation is an extensively studied mechanism for the coronal heating problem. These waves can be generated by magnetic reconnection and propagated along the reconnected field lines. Here, we study the generation of Alfvén waves at the presence of both steady flow and sheared magnetic field in the longitudinally density stratified of solar spicules. The initial flow is assumed to...
متن کاملCoronal transverse magnetohydrodynamic waves in a solar prominence.
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. We suggest that these represent Alfvén waves propagating on coronal magnetic field lines and that these may play a role...
