A model for the structure and formation of prominences.
Abstract
The authors present a geometric model for the magnetic structure of a prominence inspired by recent high resolution images and magnetic field measurements of filaments and prominences. In this model the observed prominence structures are a mapping of locations in the magnetic field structure where material can condense without falling to the chromosphere. Vertical structures near the footpoints are a series of near potential fields.
