Abstract:
The study of coronal osciallations is important since these oscillations could be responsible for the heating of the solar corona. Coronal structures are ex[ected to undergo three types of oscillations - non-compressional Alfven waves and the compressional slow and fast magnetosonic waves. Since the data from the eclipse of October 24, 1995 shows intensity oscillaitons, these are interpreted as the slow and or fast magnetosonic modes. The corresponding values of the plasma parameters as well as an estimate of the flux in these modes is also given.
