Scientific paper

On March 23rd 1999, a set of TRACE observations in the 171 Alfvén A (Fe Ix) bandpass was made of active region AR 8496. A wavelet analysis of a bright loop-footpoint to the south west of this active region displays outward propagating perturbations with periods 180-420 seconds at approximately 70-165 km s-1. We suggest that these oscillations are slow magneto-acoustic waves propagating along the loop, carrying an estimated energy flux of 4 x 102 ergs cm-2 s-1.
