MHD waves can be responsible for plasma fluctuations and short-term variations of the pulsar emission. We consider the properties of plane and cylindrical waves that can exist in the force-free magnetosphere. Waves are considered by means…
The solar atmosphere is known to contain many different types of wavelike oscillation. Waves and other fluctuations (e.g., turbulent eddies) are believed to be responsible for at least some of the energy transport and dissipation that heats…

The solar atmosphere is known to be replete with magneto-hydrodynamic wave modes, and there has been significant investment in understanding how these waves propagate through the Sun's atmopshere and deposit their energy into the plasma.…
The present paper reviews recent advances in the theory of nonlinear driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in slow and Alfven resonant layers. Simple estimations show that in the vicinity of resonant positions the amplitude of variables…

Magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas plays a crucial role in a wide range of solar, astrophysical, and laboratory environments. While reconnection in such plasmas is commonly characterized by the ion-neutral coupling strength…

Generalising the Elsasser variables, we introduce the Q-variables. These are more flexible than the Elsasser variables, because they also allow to track waves with phase speeds different than the Alfven speed. We rewrite the MHD equations…
