Magnetogravity wave

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

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. In this context, gravity wave refers to a classical fluid wave, and is completely unrelated to the relativistic gravitational wave.

Examples

Magnetogravity waves are found in the corona of the Sun.
