Fundamental-Mode Oscillations of Two Coronal Loops within a Solar Magnetic Arcade

Abstract

We analyse intensity variations, as measured by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) in the 171 Å passband, in two coronal loops embedded within a single coronal magnetic arcade. We detect oscillations in the fundamental mode with periods of roughly 2 minutes and decay times of 5 minutes. The oscillations were initiated by interaction of the arcade with a large wavefront issuing from a flare site. Further, the power spectra of the oscillations evince signatures consistent with oblique propagation to the field lines and for the existence of a 2-D waveguide instead of a 1-D one.
