The formation of solar prominences.
Abstract
Recent progress in the understanding of the formation of quiescent solar prominences is summarized in this paper, from both an observational and theoretical point of view. The first part as a review of recent observations; the second one presents main instabilities involved in prominence formation, and is a summary of first attempts to model this complex phenomenon. The third part investigates filament formation by chromospheric injection, while the fourth one describes recent models of coronal condensation.
