One of the proposed damping mechanisms of coronal (transverse) loop oscillations in the kink-mode is resonant absorption as a result of the Alfven speed variation at the outer boundary of coronal loops. Analytical expressions for the period…

Longitudinal intensity oscillations along coronal loops that are interpreted as signatures of magneto-acoustic waves are observed frequently in different coronal structures. The aim of this paper is to estimate the physical parameters of…

Context. Recent observations of decayless transverse oscillations have shown two branches in the relationship between periods and loop lengths. One is a linear relationship, interpreted as a standing mode. The other shows almost no…

The cross sections of solar coronal loops are suggested to be rarely circular. We examine linear kink oscillations in straight, density-enhanced, magnetic cylinders with elliptical cross-sections by solving the three-dimensional…

The driving and excitation mechanisms of decay-less kink oscillations in coronal loops remain under debate. We aim to quantify and provide simple observational constraints on the photospheric driving of oscillating coronal loops in a few…

The three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of stereoscopically triangulated loops provide strong constraints for magnetic field models of active regions in the solar corona. Here we use STEREO/A and B data from some 500 stereoscopically…

Magnetic field in the solar lower atmosphere can be measured by the use of the Zeeman and Hanle effects. In contrast, the coronal magnetic field well above the solar surface, which directly controls various eruptive phenomena, can not be…
