Savage has suggested that an energy flux of 2 • 101~ erg cm -2 s -1 passes through the umbra of a sunspot in the form of hydromagnetic waves. In this paper some of the consequences of this flux are considered. It is first shown that it is not inconsistent with the energy requirements for the heating

It is shown that a discrete Alfv6n wave can explain the natural oscillations of solar loop prominences by considering the existence of a current flow. Discrete Alfv6n waves are a new class of Alfv6n waves which is described by the inclusion of the finite ion cyclotron frequency (e)/e)~i ~ 0) and/or
We have modeled the solar coronal active loop heating by discrete Alfv6n waves. Discrete Alfv~n waves (DAW) are a new class of Alfv6n waves which can be described by the two-fluid model with finite ion-cyclotron frequency, or the MHD model with plasma current along the magnetic field line as shown b
The propagation of Alfv6n waves in a simple model of a sunspot is considered. The vertical structure near the center of the umbra is modelled realistically, but the horizontal structure is not considered. The full wave equation is solved, without recourse to the WKB approximation. Only wave propagat
