Scientific paper

Dissipative Alfvén waves in a nonuniform plasma are studied by using a normal mode analysis. Specific magnetic geometries are used to simulate various magnetic structures in the solar atmosphere. The authors have computed the real and imaginary parts of the eigenfrequency for each of the configurations and found that these eigenmodes can deposit a substantial amount of energy to the corona because of their short damping distances.
