We present the first unambiguous detection of quasi-periodic wave trains within the broad pulse of a global EUV wave (so-called "EIT wave") occurring on the limb. These wave trains, running ahead of the lateral CME front of 2-4 times…

We find evidence for the first observation of the parametric decay instability (PDI) in the lower solar atmosphere. Specifically, we find that the power spectrum of density fluctuations near the solar transition region resembles the power…

We study the propagation properties of slow magneto-acoustic waves in a multi-thermal coronal loop using a 3D MHD model, for the first time. A bundle of 33 vertical cylinders, each of 100{\,}km radius, randomly distributed over a circular…

Quasi-periodic propagating intensity disturbances (PDs) have been observed in large coronal loops in EUV images over a decade, and are widely accepted to be slow magnetosonic waves. However, spectroscopic observations from Hinode/EIS…

Context. MHD waves are proposed to transport sufficient energy from the photosphere to heat the transition-region (TR) and corona. However, various aspects of these waves such as their nature, propagation characteristics and role in the…

We report radial speed evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) detected by the SOHO/LASCO coronagraph, interplanetary scintillation (IPS) at 327 MHz, and in-situ observations. In this study, we analyze solar wind…

We study the relationship between implosive motions in a solar flare, and the energy redistribution in the form of oscillatory structures and particle acceleration. The flare SOL2012-03-09T03:53 (M6.4) shows clear evidence for an…

Large-scale propagating fronts are frequently observed during solar eruptions, yet it is open whether they are waves or not, partly because the propagation is modulated by coronal structures, whose magnetic field we still cannot measure.…

Since the discovery of quasi-periodic propagating oscillations with periods of order three to ten minutes in coronal loops with TRACE and EIT (later with EUVI and EIS), they have been almost universally interpreted as evidence for…

Although the solar wind flows primarily outward from the Sun to interplanetary space, there are times when small-scale plasma inflows are observed. Inward-propagating density fluctuations in polar coronal holes were detected by the COR2…

Examining flare data observed by TRACE satellite from May 1998 to December 2006, we choose 190 (151 M-class and 39 X-class) flare events which display post-flare loops (PFLs), observed by 171 \AA and 195 \AA wavelengths. 124 of the 190…

Coronal holes are thought to be composed of relatively broad columnar structures known as plumes. Here we demonstrate that the plumes (and inter-plumes) in polar coronal holes are composed of fine-scale filamentary structure, with average…
