OSCILLATIONS IN PROMINENCE FINE-STRUCTURES

Abstract

Oscillatory spectra of solar quiescent prominences highlight the importance of incorporating the effect of prominence fine-structure in the theory of prominence oscillations. We determine the magnetohydrodynamic modes of oscillation of an elementary, zero-β model of a prominence fibril, arguing that the fast body kink modes, namely, the string and the internal magnetic Love modes, produce the observed short periodicities in prominence fine-structures. Estimates for the periods of these modes are presented: the modes are subject to testing in future high-resolution observations.
