Influence of longitudinal structure in the fast modes of prominence threads
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 2007
Abstract
Recent high-resolution observations have pointed out that prominences are made of small threads (also named fibrils) piled up to form the body of the prominence. These fine structures also seem to support their own oscillatory modes, while their effect on the global modes of the prominences are less certain. We study the effect of adding a smooth transition layer between the prominence material and the corona along the magnetic field line, since previous studies have considered a jump in density in this interface. Then we compare the results with previous models and check that these transition layers do not affect significantly the periods of the modes.
