Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves and/or the braiding of magnetic field lines are largely thought to be responsible for heating the solar corona, both being mechanisms which are driven by the Sun's photospheric magnetic field. Recent…

Oscillations in coronal loops are usually interpreted in terms of uncoupled magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Examples of these waves are standing transverse motions, interpreted as the kink MHD modes, and propagating slow modes, commonly…
