and 1600 A (c) at 22:00UT on 2010 August 3. In panel (a), the reference position is used to compute the
space-time by three dashed lines (denoted by slit1, slit2, and slit3); In panel (b), the oscillation source of
the umbra is denoted by the white cross “+”.

ABSTRACT The observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the
Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) reveal the weak propagating disturbances (PDs) in the
fan-like coronal loops of the active region (AR 11092) in 171 A, 193 A, and 211 A. These
PDs seem to be a common phenomenon in this part of the active region. The disturbances
originate from small-scale brightenings at the footpoints of the loops and propagate along
the loops. The observed propagation speeds decreased when the PDs were propagating in
hotter plasmas. It roughly varies between 40 km/s and 121 km/s for three bandpasses, which
is close to and below the expected sound speed in the coronal loops. Considering the pro-
jection effect and different angles to our line of sight, it is exactly what the slow-wave model
expects. The wavelet analysis does not show a significant difference among the periods of
the PDs observed in different bandpasses. The periodic patterns of two distinct periods, 3
min and more than 10 min, are detected in three bandpasses. Not only the coronal loops
but also the sunspot regions on the chromosphere display intensity oscillations with a period
of the order of 3 min. This result suggests that the sunspot oscillations can propagate into
the corona through the chromospheres and the transition region.
