Magnetogravity wave

A magnetogravity wave is a type of plasma wave. A magnetogravity wave is an acoustic gravity wave which is associated with fluctuations in the background magnetic field.[1] In this context, gravity wave refers to a classical fluid wave, and is completely unrelated to the relativistic gravitational wave.

This article is about acoustic waves in plasma. For the gravitational analog of electromagnetism, see Gravitoelectromagnetism.

Examples

Magnetogravity waves are found in the corona of the Sun.

gollark: I mean, to be fair, it's likely quite hard to self-teach 3 years of full time stuff.
gollark: The additional spending of the top ones apparently goes on research quite a lot. That doesn't impact teaching quality much in *most* areas, since I don't think that much of your education is going to be in state of the art research. Maybe the last year.
gollark: Prestigious is the more accurate word I guess.
gollark: I expect there are significant diminishing returns with actual teaching quality in the trendier universities.
gollark: Increasingly, if you want to learn a thing for learningous purposes, you can just get free/cheap material on it off the internet.
