Abstract

We investigate the two-dimensional boundary value problem of the linear wave excitation in the solar corona by a pair of periodic perturbers localized at the photosphere. The physical properties of the corona allow us to consider a magnetic configuration such as a potential arcade which is in a magneto-hydrostatic equilibrium with the surrounding plasma. The model excludes the A1fvén mode and since the slow mode is absent in a potential arcade, the excited waves are then the fast magneto-acoustic modes. The characteristic magnetic field scale length is twice the scale height of the coronal plasma, assumed isothermal and the induced fluid motions are in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field, in the cross-sectional plane of the arcade.
