Overall properties and steady flows
Abstract
Since the publication of the book 'Solar Prominences' (Tandberg-Hanssen, 1974), prominences have been the subject of many theoretical and observational studies, as discussed and summarized in several reviews (Hirayama, 1985; Poland, 1986; Malherbe, 1987). The present paper presents recent progress, mostly from an observational point of view, in the understanding of the formation, structure, support, and instabilities of solar prominences. Results of spectroscopic diagnostics (velocity, temperature and density) are stressed.
