We re-examine the physical relationship between Extreme-UltraViolet (EUV) waves and type II radio bursts. It has been often thought that they are two observational aspects of a single coronal shock wave. However, a lack of their speed…

Freely-propagating global waves in the solar atmosphere are commonly observed using Extreme UltraViolet passbands (EUV or "EIT waves"), and less regularly in H-alpha (Moreton-Ramsey waves). Despite decades of research, joint observations of…

As the most energetic eruptions in the solar system, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can produce shock waves at both their front and flanks as they erupt from the Sun into the heliosphere. However, the amount of energy produced in these…

For the first time, we report a large-scale wave that was observed simultaneously in the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region and low corona layers of the solar atmosphere. Using the high temporal and high spatial resolution…

Extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) waves are one of the large-scale phenomena on the Sun. They are defined as large propagating fronts in the low corona with speeds ranging from a few tens km/s to a multiple of 1000 km/s. They are often associated…

The origin of the Moreton wave observed in the chromosphere and the EIT wave observed in the corona during the eruption remains being an active research subject for a while. We investigate numerically in this work the evolutionary features…

This paper presents a study of a large sample of global disturbances in the solar corona with characteristic propagating fronts as intensity enhancement, similar to the phenomena that have often been referred to as EIT waves or EUV waves.…

We show examples of excitation of coronal waves by flare-related abrupt eruptions of magnetic rope structures. The waves presumably rapidly steepened into shocks and freely propagated afterwards like decelerating blast waves that showed up…

More and more evidence indicates that "EIT waves" are strongly related to coronal mass ejections (CMEs). However, it is still not clear how the two phenomena are related to each other. We investigate a CME event on 1997 September 9, which…

The nature of CME-associated low corona propagating disturbances, 'EUV waves', has been controversial since their discovery by EIT on \textit{SOHO}. The low cadence, single viewpoint EUV images and the lack of simultaneous inner corona…

The extended solar corona at 10-30 solar radii is essentially devoid of all waves below 100 kHz other than triggered ion acoustic waves (TIAW), which consist of a low frequency electromagnetic wave at a frequency of a few Hz coupled to one…

Events in the solar corona are often widely separated in their timescales, which can allow them to be identified when they would otherwise be confused with emission from other sources in the corona. Methods for cleanly separating such…

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…

Solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) waves are spectacular propagating disturbances with EUV enhancements in annular shapes in the solar corona. These EUV waves carry critical information about the coronal magnetised plasma that can shed light…

In this study, we investigate an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wave event on 2010 February 11, which occurred as a limb event from the Earth viewpoint and a disk event from the STEREO--B viewpoint. We use the data obtained by the Atmospheric…

Large-scale, wave-like disturbances in extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) and type II radio bursts are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Both phenomena may signify shock waves driven by CMEs. Taking EUV full-disk images at an…

The "middle corona" is a critical transition between the highly disparate physical regimes of the lower and outer solar corona. Nonetheless, it remains poorly understood due to the difficulty of observing this faint region (1.5-3 solar…

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…
