Exploring the Ideal MHD Quasi-Modes of a Plasma Interface with a Thick Nonuniform Transition
Nonuniform plasma across an imposed magnetic field, such as those present in the solar atmosphere, can support collective Alfvénic oscillations with a characteristic damping time. The damped transverse oscillations of coronal loops are an example of this process. In ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD),...
