Damping envelopes for the standing kink mode observed by Van Doorsselaere et al. (2008). The solid line shows the Gaussian damping profile (Eq. (16)) expected to dominate oscillations in such a low density (ρ₀/ρ_e = 1.2) loop. The dashed line shows the exponential damping profile based on Eq. (15). The dotted line is an exponential damping profile with 25% weaker damping calculated by Van Doorsselaere et al. (2004) for a fully inhomogeneous model.
