The propagation of magnetoacoustic waves in the neighbourhood of a 2D null point is investigated for both $\beta=0$ and $\beta \neq 0$ plasmas. Previous work has shown that the Alfv\'en speed, here $v_A \propto r$, plays a vital role in…
Waves play a crucial role in diagnosing the plasma properties of various structures in the solar corona and coronal heating. Slow magneto-acoustic (MA) waves are one of the important magnetohydrodynamic waves. In past decades, numerous slow…
At the site of their origin, solar meterwave radio bursts contain pristine information about the local coronal magnetic field and plasma parameters. On its way through the turbulent corona, this radiation gets substantially modified due to…
