MHD oscillations in solar and stellar coronae: Current results and perspectives

نویسنده

  • Valery M. Nakariakov
چکیده

Wave and oscillatory activity is observed with modern imaging and spectral instruments in the visible light, EUV, X-ray and radio bands in all parts of the solar corona. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave theory gives satisfactory interpretation of these phenomena in terms of MHD modes of coronal structures. The paper reviews the current trends in the observational study of coronal oscillations, recent development of theoretical modelling of MHD wave interaction with plasma structures, and implementation of the theoretical results for the mode identification. Also the use of MHD waves for remote diagnostics of coronal plasmas is discussed. In particular, the applicability of this method to the estimation of the coronal magnetic field is demonstrated. 2007 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Forward Modeling of Stellar Coronae: from a 3d Mhd Model to Synthetic Euv Spectra

A forward model is described in which we synthesize spectra from an ab-initio 3D MHD simulation of an outer stellar atmosphere, where the coronal heating is based on braiding of magnetic flux due to photospheric footpoint motions. We discuss the validity of assumptions such as ionization equilibrium and investigate the applicability of diagnostics like the differential emission measure inversio...

Fundamental Physical Processes in Coronae : Waves , Turbulence , Reconnection , and Particle Acceleration

Our understanding of fundamental processes in the solar corona has been greatly progressed based on the space observations of SMM, Yohkoh, Compton GRO, SOHO, TRACE, RHESSI, and STEREO. We observe now acoustic waves, MHD oscillations, turbulence-related line broadening, magnetic configurations related to reconnection processes, and radiation from high-energy particles on a routine basis. We revi...

Observations of X-ray Oscillations in Ξ Boo: Evidence of Fast Kink Mode in the Stellar Loops

We report the observations of X-ray oscillations during the flare in a cool active star ξ Boo for the first time. ξ Boo was observed by EPIC/MOS of XMM-Newton satellite. The X-ray light curve is investigated with wavelet and periodogram analyses. Both analyses clearly show oscillations of the period of ∼ 1019 s. We interpret these oscillations as a fundamental fast-kink mode of magnetoacoustic ...

A Physical Mechanism for Self-Organization in Solar and Stellar Coronae: Theory and Observations

The existence of power law statistics in solar and stellar flares has prompted the suggestion that solar and stellar coronae are in a self-organized critical state, but the physical foundation of this theory is lacking. We present observational evidence from 107 flare events in 37 sun-like stars that solar and stellar coronae self-organize into a critical state set by a bifurcation in the dynam...
