Abstract

Discrete Alfven waves in coronal loops and prominences are investigated in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics. The non-ideal effects included are anisotropic, thermal conduction, and optically thin radiation. The classic ideal Alfven continuum is not altered by these non-ideal effects, but the discrete Alfven modes, which exist under certain conditions above or below the Alfven continuum in ideal MHD, are shown to be influenced by non-adiabatic effects.
