We give a brief review of some aspects of MHD waves and coronal seismology which have recently been the focus of intense debate or are newly emerging. In particular, we focus on four topics: (i) the current controversy surrounding propagating intensity perturbations along coronal loops, (ii) the interpretation of propagating transverse loop oscillations, (iii) the ongoing search for coronal (torsional) Alfven waves and (iv) the rapidly developing topic of quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) in solar flares.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-02-09T10:57:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mhd waves", "coronal seismology", "current controversy surrounding propagating intensity", "propagating transverse loop oscillations", "controversy surrounding propagating intensity perturbations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1098/rsta.2011.0640", "journal": "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London Series A", "year": 2012, "month": "Jul", "volume": 370, "number": 1970, "pages": 3193 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1088550, "adsabs": "2012RSPTA.370.3193D" } } }
