Context. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere. In magnetic waveguides resonant absorption due to plasma inhomogeneity naturally transfers wave energy from large-scale motions to small-scale motions. In the…
We describe the interaction of parallel-propagating Alfv\'en waves with ion-acoustic waves and other Alfv\'en waves, in magnetized, high-$\beta$ collisionless plasmas. This is accomplished through a combination of analytical theory and…

The Hall effect arises in a plasma when electrons are able to drift with the magnetic field but ions cannot. In a fully-ionized plasma this occurs for frequencies between the ion and electron cyclotron frequencies because of the larger ion…
