We study from a statistical point of view the magnetic field in
prominences by using THEMIS in the MTR mode performing spectro-polarimetry of the
He D3 line.
Combining these measurements with spectroscopic data from IRIS, SOHO/EIS and
ground-based telescopes (Meudon Solar Tower, Fuxian Solar Observatory, Ondrejov,
Bialkow we determine the inferred temperature, density, and flow velocities of the
plasma.
Multiple questions are open:
- What is the general orientation 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 Halpha,
in He II 304) over an inversion line between weak or strong network?
- The study of the differential emission measure using Hinode/EIS data informs us
about the plasma parameters of the prominences: are prominences in a weak
environment field dominated by gas pressure?
- Measuring the Dopplershifts in Mg II lines (with IRIS) and in Halpha can tell us
if there are substantial velocities to maintain vertical rotating structures, as it
is suggested with tornado-like prominences.
We shall give some results obtained with different ground-based and space
instruments in this framework. |
