Thesis supervisor: Róbert Erdélyi
Location of studies (in Hungarian): Dept of Astronomy, Eotvos University
Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE


Description of the research topic:

High-resolution ground- and spaced-base magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are ubiqutously observed in the solar atmosphere. They are very important as they may have dominant contribution to the plasma heating present in the solar atmosphere, that is one of the key puzzles of moder astrophysics. Another key aspect of solar atmospheric MHD wave research is that these waves may be used to diagnose the magnetised solar plasma where they propagate. This project is to further the currently available MHD wave theory in inhomogeneous waveguides. The theory will be applied to a number of solar structures from pores, magnetic bright points to solar jets, called spicuules.

The study will involve mathematical modelling complemented with observational data analysis using high spatial, temporal and spectral resolution solar telescopes. The developed MHD wave theory will be justified by validating the obtained analytical results with observational data.

Required language skills: excellent english
Further requirements: 
This project requires excellent skills in mathematical modelling complemented with interest in taking observations by either ground- or space-based telescope. Further, the project also likely requires collaboration with colleagues from Solar Physics

Number of students who can be accepted: 1

Deadline for application: 2017-05-31
