Observation of kink waves in solar spicules
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2005
Abstract
Height series of Doppler observation in $H_{\alpha}$ and $D_3$ spectral lines of solar spicules obtained by big coronagraph (53 cm) of Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory have been analyzed. Time duration of each height series was 7 s. Totally 8 different heights from the photosphere were covered. Spatial difference between neighboring heights was 1 arc sec. We found the periodic spatial distribution of Doppler velocities during height series in certain spicules. We suggest that the periodic spatial distributions are caused by propagating or standing kink waves. The wave length is found to be in the range 3500–4000 km which probably indicates to the granular origin of the waves.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
