We show that 5-minute acoustic oscillations may resonantly convert into Alfv{\'e}n waves in the $\beta{\sim}1$ region of the solar atmosphere. Considering the 5-minute oscillations as pumping standing acoustic waves oscillating along…

Annual oscillations have been detected in many indices of solar activity during many cycles. Recent multi spacecraft observations of coronal bright points revealed slow retrograde toroidal phase drift (with the speed of 3 m/s of 1 yr…

Among the identified solar inertial modes, the high-latitude mode with azimuthal order $m=1$ (HL1) has the largest amplitude and plays a role in shaping the Sun's differential rotation profile. We aim to study the evolution of the HL1 mode…

The structure of the surface layers of the Sun is changed by magnetic activity which, in turn, changes the eigenfrequencies of the acoustic modes. These frequency shifts have been observed both in low- and high-degree data, and are found to…
