摘要

We study transverse loop oscillations triggered by 17flares and filament destabilizations; only 2 such cases have been reported in the literature until now. Oscillation periods are estimated to range over a factor of ∼15, with most values between 2 and 7 min. The oscillations are excited by filament destabilizations or flares (in 6% of the 255 flares inspected, ranging from about C3 to X2). There is no clear dependence of oscillation amplitude on flare magnitude. Oscillations occur in loops that close within an active region, or in loops that connect an active region to a neighboring region or to a patch of strong flux in the quiet Sun. Some magnetic configurations are particularly prone to exhibit oscillations: two active regions showed two, and one region even three, distinct intervals with loop oscillations. The loop oscillations are not a resonance that builds up: oscillations in loops that are excited along their entire length are likely to be near the fundamental resonance mode because of that excitation profile, but asymmetrically excited oscillations clearly show propagating waves that are damped too quickly to build up a resonance, and some cases show multiple frequencies. We discuss evidence that all oscillating loops lie near magnetic separatrices that outline the large-scale topology of the field. All magnetic configurations are more complicated than a simple bipolar region, involving mixed-polarities in the interior or vicinity of the region; this may reflect that the exciting eruptions occur only in such environments, but this polarity mixing likely also introduces the large-scale separatrices that are involved. Often the oscillations occur in conjunction with gradual adjustments in loop positions in response to the triggering event. We discuss the observations in the context of two models: (a) transverse waves in coronal loops that act as wave guides and (b) strong sensitivity to changes in the field sources for field lines near separatrices. Properties that favor model b are (1) the involvement of loops at or near separatrices that outline the large-scale topology of the field, (2) the combined occurrence of oscillations and loop translations, (3) the small period spread and similar decay time scale in a set of oscillating loops in one well-observed event, and (4) the existence of loops oscillating in antiphase with footpoints close together in two cases. All other properties are compatible with either model, except the fact that almost all of the oscillations start away from the triggering event, suggestive of an outward-pushing exciting wave more in line with model a. The spread in periods from event to event suggests that the oscillations may reflect the properties of some driver mechanism that is related to the flare or mass ejection.
