We present simulation results of the impulsively generated linear and non-linear Alfv\'en waves in the weakly curved coronal magnetic flux-tubes (coronal funnels) and discuss their implications for the coronal heating and solar wind…
Coronal loops are plasma structures in the solar atmosphere with temperatures reaching millions of Kelvin, shaped and sustained by the magnetic field. However, their morphology and fundamental nature remain subjects of debate. By studying…
How the solar wind is accelerated to its supersonic speed is intimately related to how it is heated. Mechanisms based on ion-cyclotron resonance have been successful in explaining a large number of observations, those concerning the…
We analyse multiwavelength observations of an M2.9/1N flare that occurred in AR NOAA 11112 on 16 October 2010. AIA 211 {\AA} EUV images reveal the presence of a faster coronal wave (decelerating from ~1390 to ~830 km/s) propagating ahead of…
Coronal fan loops rooted in sunspot umbra show outward propagating waves with subsonic phase speed and period around 3-min. However, their source region in the lower atmosphere is still ambiguous. We performed multi-wavelength observations…
Alfv\'enic waves are thought to play an important role in coronal heating and acceleration of solar wind. Here we investigated the statistical properties of Alfv\'enic waves along spicules (jets that protrude into the corona) in a polar…

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…
Solar extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) waves generally refer to large-scale disturbances propagating outward from sites of solar eruptions in EUV imaging observations. Using the recent observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on…
The frequencies of solar oscillations are known to change with solar activity. We use Principal Component Analysis to examine these changes with high precision. In addition to the well-documented changes in solar normal mode oscillations…
