abstract

Decayless kink oscillations are omnipresent in the solar atmosphere and a viable candidate for coronal heating. Though there have been extensive studies of decayless oscillations in coronal loops with a few hundred Mm lengths, the properties of these oscillations in small-scale ($\sim$10 Mm) loops are yet to be explored. In this study, we present the properties of decayless oscillations in small loops embedded in the quiet corona and coronal holes. We use high resolution observations from the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager onboard Solar Orbiter with pixel scales of 210 km and 5 s cadence or better. We find 42 oscillations in 33 coronal loops with loop lengths varying between 3 to 23 Mm. The average displacement amplitude is found to be 136 km. The oscillations period has a range of 27 to 276 s, and the velocity amplitudes range from 2.2 to 19.3 km s$^{-1}$. The observed kink speeds are lower than those observed in active region coronal loops. The variation of loop length with the period does not indicate a strong correlation. Coronal seismology technique indicated an average magnetic field value of 2.1 G. We estimate the energy flux with a broad range of 0.6-314 W m$^{-2}$. Moreover, we note that the short-period decayless oscillations are not prevalent in the quiet Sun and coronal holes. Therefore, our study suggests that decayless oscillations in small-scale coronal loops are unlikely to provide enough energy to heat the quiet Sun and accelerate solar wind in the coronal holes.
