- Asking wether Alfvén waves could be observed by amateur astronomers
I currently do amateur stellar spectroscopy, low to medium resolution, and I like to expand further to study magnetic fields near the sun.
I just started studying plasma physics and am aware of Alfvén waves. How would these be observed on a spectrum.? Would it be oscillating Ha lines, or oscillation of polarization? In other words ,what could be observed by an an amateur with grating and polarizing filters? Thanks jack
