CDS wide slit time-series of EUV coronal bright points

Wide slit (90 00 240 00 ) movies of four Extreme Ultraviolet coronal bright points (BPs) obtained with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO) have been inspected. The wavelet analysis of the Hei 584.34 A, Ov 629.73 A and Mgvii/ix 368 A time-series confirms the oscillating nature of the BPs, with periods ranging between 600 and 1100 seconds. In one case we detect periods as short as 236 seconds. We suggest that these oscillations are the same as those seen in the chromospheric network and that a fraction of the network bright points are most likely the cool footpoints of the loops comprising coronal bright points. These oscillations are interpreted in terms of global acoustic modes of the closed magnetic structures associated with BPs.
