    • Magnetic surface effects on solar oscillations 

      Jain, Rekha (University of St Andrews, 1993) - Thesis
      This thesis is concerned with the effects of magnetic atmospheres on solar oscillations. The behaviour of magnetohydrodynamic surface waves propagating on a single magnetic interface is discussed ignoring the effects of ...

    • Thermal instabilities in the solar corona 

      Ireland, Richard C. (University of St Andrews, 1995) - Thesis
      In this thesis, several problems relating to thermal instabilities in the solar corona are examined. Chapter 1 gives a brief description of the Sun and corresponding events with particular attention focused on prominences, ...

    • Heating of turbulent solar and laboratory plasmas 

      Inverarity, Gordon W. (University of St Andrews, 1995) - Thesis
      The model of Heyvaerts and Priest (1992) for steady-state heating of the turbulent medium within a sheared solar coronal arcade structure is here developed. The energy input into the corona is calculated at the large scales ...

    • Alfvén waves in low-mass star-forming regions 

      Martin, Clare E. (University of St Andrews, 1999) - Thesis
      Low-mass star-forming regions have a lifetime which is greater than their dynamical time and must therefore be, in an average sense, in mechanical equilibrium. The work presented here proposes that an equilibrium exists ...

    • Basic magnetic field configurations for solar filament channels and filaments 

      Mackay, Duncan Hendry (University of St Andrews, 1997) - Thesis
      The three-dimensional magnetic structure of solar filament channels and filaments is considered. A simple analytical potential model of a filament channel is setup with line sources representing the overlying arcades and ...
