High mode magnetohydrodynamic waves propagation in a twisted rotating jet emerging from a filament eruption

Published 19 May 2018 in astro-ph.SR | (1805.07536v1)

Abstract: We study the conditions under which high mode magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves propagating on a rotating jet emerging from the filament eruption on 2013 April 10--11 can became unstable against the Kelvin--Helmholtz instability (KHI). The evolution of jet indicates the blob like structure at its boundary which could be one of the observable features of the KHI development. We model the jet as a twisted rotating axially moving magnetic flux tube and explore the propagation characteristics of the running MHD modes on the basis of dispersion relations derived in the framework of the ideal magnetohydrodynamics. It is established that unstable MHD waves with wavelengths in the range of $12$--$15$~Mm and instability developing times from $1.5$ to $2.6$~min can be detected at the excitation of high mode MHD waves. The magnitude of the azimuthal mode number $m$ crucially depends upon the twist of the internal magnetic field. It is found that at slightly twisted magnetic flux tube the appropriate azimuthal mode number is $m = 16$ while in the case of a moderately twisted flux tube it is equal to $18$.
