| Abstract: |
We study the magnetic field in prominences from a statistical point of view, by using THEMIS in the MTR mode, performing spectropolarimetry of the He I D3 line.
Combining these measurements with spectroscopic data from IRIS, Hinode/EIS as well as ground-based telescopes, such as the Meudon Solar Tower,
we infer the temperature, density, and flow velocities of the plasma.
There are a number of open questions that we aim to answer:
- What is the general direction of the magnetic field in prominences? Is the model using a single orientation of magnetic field always valid for atypical prominences?
%- Does this depend on the location of the filament on the disk (visible in Hα, in He II 304 Å) over an inversion line between weak or strong network ?
- Are prominences in a weak environment field dominated by gas pressure?
- Measuring the Doppler shifts in Mg II lines (with IRIS) and in Hα can tell us if there are substantial velocities to maintain vertical rotating structures, as has been suggested for tornado-like prominences.
We present here some results obtained with different ground-based and space-based instruments in this framework. |
