Transverse oscillations in a coronal loop triggered by a jet

We detect and analyse transverse oscillations in a coronal loop, lying at the south east limb of the Sun as seen from the \textit{{Atmospheric Imaging Assembly}} (AIA) onboard \textit{{Solar Dynamics Observatory}} (SDO). The jet is believed to trigger transverse oscillations in the coronal loop. The jet originates from a region close to the coronal loop on 19$^{\rm th}$ September 2014 at 02:01:35 UT. The length of the loop is estimated to be between 377-539~Mm. Only one complete oscillation is detected with an average period of about $32\pm5$~min. Using MHD seismologic inversion techniques, we estimate the magnetic field inside the coronal loop to be between $2.68 -4.5$~G. The velocity of the hot and cool components of the jet is estimated to be 168~km~s$^{-1}$ and 43~km~s$^{-1}$, respectively. The energy density of the jet is found to be greater than the energy density of the oscillating coronal loop. Therefore, we conclude that the jet {triggered} transverse oscillations in the coronal loop. To our knowledge, this is the first coronal loop seismology study using the properties of a jet propagation {to trigger} oscillations.
