Stability and mode analysis of solar coronal loops using thermodynamic irreversible energy principles: II. Modes in twisted non-isothermal magnetic field configurations

Aims. We study the stability and modes of non - isothermal coronal loop models with different intensity values of equilibrium twisted magnetic field.Methods. We use an energy principle obtained by means of non - equilibrium thermodynamic arguments. The principle is expressed in terms of Hermitian op...
