Transverse oscillations of solar filament and prominence threads have been frequently reported. These oscillations have the common features of being of short period (2-10 min) and being damped after a few periods. Kink magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave modes have been proposed as responsible for the observed oscillations,...

Time damping of non-adiabatic magnetohydrodynamic waves in a partially ionized prominence plasma: Effect of helium
Prominences are partially ionized, magnetized plasmas embedded in the solar corona. Damped oscillations and propagating waves are commonly observed. These oscillations have been interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. Ion-neutral collisions and non-adiabatic effects (radiation losses and thermal conduc...

The effect of longitudinal flow on resonantly damped kink oscillations
The most promising mechanism acting towards damping the kink oscillations of coronal loops is resonant absorption. In this context most of previous studies neglected the effect of the obvious equilibrium flow along magnetic field lines. The flows are in general sub-Alfv\'enic and hence comparatively slow. Here we inves...

Mode- and size-dependent Landau-Lifshitz damping in magnetic nanostructures: Evidence for non-local damping
We demonstrate a strong dependence of the effective damping on the nanomagnet size and the particular spin-wave mode that can be explained by the theory of intralayer transverse-spin-pumping. The effective Landau-Lifshitz damping is measured optically in individual, isolated nanomagnets as small as 100 nm. The measurem...

Damping filter method for obtaining spatially localized solutions
Spatially localized structures are key components of turbulence and other spatio-temporally chaotic systems. From a dynamical systems viewpoint, it is desirable to obtain corresponding exact solutions, though their existence is not guaranteed. A damping filter method is introduced to obtain variously localized solution...

Highly confined low-loss plasmons in graphene-boron nitride heterostructures
Graphene plasmons were predicted to possess ultra-strong field confinement and very low damping at the same time, enabling new classes of devices for deep subwavelength metamaterials, single-photon nonlinearities, extraordinarily strong light-matter interactions and nano-optoelectronic switches. While all of these grea...

Energy Dependence of Synchrotron X-Ray Rims in Tycho's Supernova Remnant
Several young supernova remnants exhibit thin X-ray bright rims of synchrotron radiation at their forward shocks. Thin rims require strong magnetic field amplification beyond simple shock compression if rim widths are only limited by electron energy losses. But, magnetic field damping behind the shock could produce sim...

Forward Modelling of Propagating Slow Waves in Coronal Loops and Their Frequency-Dependent Damping
Propagating slow waves in coronal loops exhibit a damping which depends upon the frequency of the waves. In this study we aim to investigate the relationship of the damping length (L$_d$) with the frequency of the propagating wave. We present a 3-D coronal loop model with uniform density and temperature and investigate...

Damping of prominence longitudinal oscillations due to mass accretion
We study the damping of longitudinal oscillations of a prominence thread caused by the mass accretion. In this model we considered a thin curved magnetic tube filled with the plasma. The parts of the tube at the two sides of the thread are filled with hot rarefied plasma. We assume that there are flows of rarefied plas...

Inductive detection of field-like and damping-like AC inverse spin-orbit torques in ferromagnet/normal metal bilayers
Functional spintronic devices rely on spin-charge interconversion effects, such as the reciprocal processes of electric field-driven spin torque and magnetization dynamics-driven spin and charge flow. Both damping-like and field-like spin-orbit torques have been observed in the forward process of current-driven spin to...

Forecasts for Constraining Lorentz-violating Damping of Gravitational Waves from Compact Binary Inspirals
Violation of Lorentz symmetry can result in two distinct effects in the propagation of the gravitational waves (GWs). One is a modified dispersion relation and another is a frequency-dependent damping of GWs. While the former has been extensively studied in the literature, in this paper we concentrate on the frequency-...

A recipe for eccentricity and inclination damping for partial gap opening planets in 3D disks
In a previous paper we showed that, like the migration speed, the eccentricity damping efficiency is modulated linearly by the depth of the partial gap a planet carves in the disk surface density profile, resulting in less efficient $e$-damping compared to the prescription commonly used in population synthesis works. H...
