Project

A new driving mechanism of decay less oscillations in coronal loops.

Despite the large number of highly detailed observations, the multimillion degree temperature of the solar corona is still one of themost important open questions regarding the nature of the solar atmosphere. With this project, we perform high resolution, 3Dmagnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of decayless oscillations in coronal loops. We focus on the implementation of a new driver into our existing setups, that generates these oscillations, like a bow on a violin string. The effects of strong drivers and the generation of instabilities on our oscillating loops will be considered. We will create synthetic data and compare with observations as well as past and present studies with other observationally inspired drivers.
