Where are we with the Pending Issues of Prominence Formation, Lifetime and Eruption?
Abstract
As shown by most recent reviews (e.g. Solar Prominences, 2015, ASSL 415), the formation, existence (and eruption) of solar prominences are still a mystery. There are many reasons for that : their complexity in terms of geometry and fine structure, the crucial rôle of the magnetic field (and its difficult measurement), the mixed nature of the plasma (neither neutral nor fully ionized), the rôle of the powerful photospheric, chromospheric and coronal incident radiation in the energy budget, etc ... We propose to have a review of the latest discoveries in the field resulting from the most recent missions (such as IRIS) and ground-based instrumentation along with NLTE and MHD modelling. We will also address some significant results on the connection between Eruptive Prominences and CMEs.
