Properties of Magnetic Neutral Lines and Chromospheric Filaments Formation
Abstract
Chromospheric filaments - large concentrations of dense and cool material held in place by magnetic fields - form at a boundary (neutral lines) between opposite polarity magnetic fields. However, not all magnetic neutral lines have filaments above them. In present research we compare properties of magnetic polarity inversion lines that have filaments above them and those without filaments, and investigate how these properties change during solar cycle. The results are used to establish the conditions at neutral lines that may lead to formation of the chromospheric filaments.
