Description
Coronal waves have been intensively studied due to their potential role in coronal heating and their application in plasma diagnostics. One particularly promising candidate is the recently discovered low-amplitude decayless kink oscillations, which are ubiquitous in the solar corona. Their undamped nature suggests the presence of a continuous energy input counteracts dissipation, although the exact physical mechanism remains debated. This talk will explore the properties and driving mechanisms of decayless kink oscillations based on high-resolution observations and recent insights from numerical simulations. I will also discuss their possible implications for coronal heating.
