Diagnostics of MHD waves in the solar atmosphere is a topic which often encounters problems of interpretation, due partly to the high complexity of the solar atmospheric medium. Forward modeling can significantly guide interpretation, bridging the gap between numerical simulations and observations, and increasing the reliability of mode identification for application of MHD seismology. In this work we aim at determining the characteristics of the fast MHD sausage mode in the corona on the modulation of observable quantities such as line intensity and spectral line broadening. Effects of line-of-sight angle, and spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions are considered. We take a cylindrical tube simulating a loop in a low-{beta} coronal environment with an optically thin background, and let it oscillate with the fast sausage mode. A parametric study is performed. Among other results, we show that regardless of the ionisation state of the plasma, the variation of spectral line broadening can be significant, even for low intensity modulation. The nature of this broadening is not thermal but is mostly turbulent. This places spectrometers in clear advantage over imaging instruments for the detection of the sausage mode. The modulation of all quantities is considerably affected by the line-of-sight angle, and especially by the spatial and temporal resolution when these are on the order of the modes wavelength and period. This places high constraints on instrumentation.

Context: We integrate the 2D MHD ideal equations of a straight slab to simulate observational results associated with fundamental sausage trapped modes. Aims: Starting from a non-equilibrium state with a dense chromospheric layer, we analyse the evol
ution of the internal plasma dynamics of magnetic loops, subject to line-tying boundary conditions, and with the coronal parameters described in Asai et al. (2001) and Melnikov et al. (2002) to investigate the onset and damping of sausage modes. Methods: To integrate the equations we used a high resolution shock-capturing (HRSC) method specially designed to deal appropriately with flow discontinuities. Results: Due to non-linearities and inhomogeneities, pure modes are difficult to sustain and always occur coupled among them so as to satisfy, e.g., the line-tying constraint. We found that, in one case, the resonant coupling of the sausage fundamental mode with a slow one results in a non-dissipative damping of the former. Conclusions: In scenarios of thick and dense loops, where the analytical theory predicts the existence of fundamental trapped sausage modes, the coupling of fast and slow quasi-periodic modes -with a node at the center of the longitudinal speed- occur contributing to the damping of the fast mode. If a discontinuity in the total pressure between the loop and the corona is assumed, a fundamental fast sausage transitory leaky regime is spontaneously produced and an external compressional Alfven wave takes away the magnetic energy.
Helioseismology is the study of the solar interior using observations of oscillations at the surface. It suffers from systematic errors, such as a center-to-limb error in travel-time measurements. Understanding these errors requires a good understand
ing of the nontrivial relationship between wave displacement and helioseismic observables. The wave displacement causes perturbations in the atmospheric thermodynamical quantities which perturb the opacity, the optical depth, the source function, and the local ray geometry, thus affecting the emergent intensity. We aim to establish the most complete relationship up to now between the displacement and the intensity perturbation by solving the radiative transfer problem in the atmosphere. We derive an expression for the intensity perturbation caused by acoustic oscillations at any point on the solar disk by applying the first-order perturbation theory. As input, we consider adiabatic modes of oscillation of different degrees. The background and the perturbed intensities are computed considering the main sources of opacity in the continuum. We find that, for all modes, the perturbations to the thermodynamical quantities are not sufficient to model the intensity. In addition, the geometrical effects due to the displacement must be taken into account as they lead to a difference in amplitude and a phase shift between the temperature at the surface and intensity perturbations. The closer to the limb, the larger the differences. This work presents improvements for the computation of the intensity perturbations, in particular for high-degree modes, and explains differences in intensity computations in earlier works. The phase shifts and amplitude differences between the temperature and intensity perturbations increase towards the limb. This should help to interpret some of the systematic center-to-limb effects observed in local helioseismology.
We analyse the capability of different type of perturbations -associated with usual environment energy fluctuations of the solar corona- to excite slow and sausage modes in solar flaring loops. We perform numerical simulations of the MHD ideal equati
ons considering straight plasma magnetic tubes subject to local and global energy depositions. We find that local loop energy depositions of typical microflares [$sim$($10^{27}$-$10^{30}$) erg] are prone to drive slow shock waves that induce slow mode patterns. The slow mode features are obtained for every tested local energy deposition inside the loop. Meanwhile, to obtain an observable sausage mode pattern a global perturbation, capable to modify instantaneously the internal loop temperature, is required, i.e. the characteristic conductive heating time must be much smaller than the radiative cooling one. Experiments carried out by varying parameter $beta$ show us that the excitation of sausage modes does not depend significantly on the value of this parameter but on the global or local character of the energy source.
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging enables monitoring around corners and is promising for diverse applications. The resolution of transient NLOS imaging is limited to a centimeter scale, mainly by the temporal resolution of the detectors. Here, we cons
truct an up-conversion single-photon detector with a high temporal resolution of ~1.4 ps and a low noise count rate of 5 counts per second (cps). Notably, the detector operates at room temperature, near-infrared wavelength. Using this detector, we demonstrate high-resolution and low-noise NLOS imaging. Our system can provide a 180 {mu}m axial resolution and a 2 mm lateral resolution, which is more than one order of magnitude better than that in previous experiments. These results open avenues for high-resolution NLOS imaging techniques in relevant applications.
The coupling between time-dependent, multidimensional MHD numerical codes and radiative line emission is of utmost importance in the studies of the interplay between dynamical and radiative processes in many astrophysical environments, with particula
r interest for problems involving radiative shocks. There is a widespread consensus that line emitting knots observed in Herbig-Haro jets can be interpreted as radiative shocks. In this paper we address two different aspects relevant to the time-dependent calculations of the line intensity ratios of forbidden transitions, resulting from the excitation by planar, time-dependent radiative shocks traveling in a stratified medium. The first one concerns the impact of the radiation and ionization processes included in the cooling model, and the second one the effects of the numerical grid resolution. In this paper we apply the AMR methodology to the treatment of radiating shocks and show how this method is able to vastly reduce the integration time. The technique is applied to the knots of the HH 30 jet to obtain the observed line intensity ratios and derive the physical parameters, such as density, temperature and ionization fraction. We consider the impact of two different cooling functions and different grid resolutions on the results. We conclude that the use of different cooling routines has effects on results whose weight depends upon the line ratio considered. Moreover, we find the minimum numerical resolution of the simulation grid behind the shock to achieve convergence in the results. This is crucial for the forthcoming 2D calculations of radiative shocks.
