Examples of damped kink oscillations for which a Gaussian envelope is found to be a better fit than an exponential envelope. The left panels shows the position of the loop axis as a function of time, fitted with sinusoids with a Gaussian (blue lines) and exponential (red lines) damping envelope. The vertical dotted lines and dashed lines denote the start time t₀ and the background trend, respectively. The middle panels show the detrended oscillations, while the panels on the right show the absolute values of the extrema with fitted envelopes.
