Description
There is not as yet full agreement on the mechanism that causes the
rapid damping of the oscillations observed by TRACE in coronal loops. It
has been suggested that the variation of the observed values of the
damping time as function of the corresponding observed values of the
period contains information on the possible damping mechanism. The aim
of this Letter is to show that, for resonant absorption, this is
definitely not the case unless detailed a priori information on the
individual loops is available.
