However, their source region in the lower atmosphere is still ambiguous. We performed multi-wavelength observations of a clean fan loop system rooted in sunspot observed by Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We utilised less explored property of frequency modulation of these 3-min waves from the photosphere to corona, and found them to be periodic with the ranges in 14-20 min, and 24-35 min. Based on our findings, we interpret that 3-min slow waves observed in the coronal fan loops are driven by 3-min oscillations observed at the photospheric footpoints of these fan loops in the umbral region. We also explored any connection between 3-min and 5-min oscillations observed at the photosphere, and found them to be poorly understood. Results provide clear evidence of magnetic coupling of the solar umbral atmosphere through propagation of 3-min waves along the fan loops at different atmospheric heights.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-05T17:13:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "slow magnetoacoustic waves", "frequency modulation", "exploring magnetic coupling", "solar atmosphere", "coronal fan loops" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
