In Situ Generation of Transverse Magnetohydrodynamic Waves from Colliding Flows in the Solar Corona

This research has received funding from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (Consolidated Grant ST/K000950/1) and the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (grant agreement No. 647214). V.M.N. acknowledges the support of the BK21 plus program through the National Research Foundation funded by the Ministry of Education of Korea. Transverse magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves permeate the solar atmosphere and are a candidate for coronal heating. However, the origin of these waves is still unclear. In this Letter, we analyze coordinated observations from Hinode/Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) of a prominence/corona…
