Kink Wave Propagation in Thin Isothermal Magnetic Flux Tubes

  • Chapter
Coronal Magnetometry

Abstract

We investigated the propagation of kink waves in thin and isothermal expanding flux tubes in cylindrical geometry. By using the method of radial expansion for fluctuating variables we obtained a new kink wave equation. We show that including the radial component of the tube magnetic field leads to cutoff-free propagation of kink waves along thin flux tubes.
