Description

Abstract:
This study presents experimental evidence of a non-linear energy cascade and high-frequency magnetic oscillations in the middle solar corona, identified through a novel analytical approach termed the KM Model. Utilizing high-cadence (5-second) L2 sequential data from the ASPIICS coronagraph, we analyze the radial evolution of dominant oscillation periods across four cardinal sectors during two distinct epochs (September and October 2025).

Our findings reveal a characteristic "U-shaped" frequency profile. In the "Magnetic Filter" zone (approx. 1.5 Rs), we identify a stabilization of low-frequency modes (periods of 98–120 s). This is followed by a dramatic transition into the "Magnetic Shake" regime (1.5–1.8 Rs), where periods synchronously collapse to high-frequency modes ranging from 8.1 s to 15.4 s (approx. 65–123 mHz).

The robustness of the KM Model is verified through a "Shuffle-and-Reconstruct" causality test involving over 100 frames, confirming that the detected signal reflects real temporal physical evolution rather than instrumental noise or static brightness. The invariance of the resonance nodes across a 27-day solar rotation cycle suggests a permanent resonant structure responsible for coronal heating via magnetic stress dissipation.

Abstract: This study presents experimental evidence of a non-linear energy cascade and high-frequency magnetic resonance in the solar corona using the KM Model. Analyzing ASPIICS L2 data (5s cadence), we identified a "Magnetic Shake" regime between 1.5 and 1.8 Rs, where oscillation periods collapse from ~100s to high-frequency modes (8.1–15.4s). This discovery provides new insights into coronal heating through magnetic stress dissipation. The results were validated via a causality "Shuffle-and-Reconstruct" test.
