Abstract: | Observations and models of solar prominences are reviewed. We focus on non-eruptive prominences, and describe recent progress
in four areas of prominence research: (1) magnetic structure deduced from observations and models, (2) the dynamics of prominence
plasmas (formation and flows), (3) Magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) waves in prominences and (4) the formation and large-scale patterns
of the filament channels in which prominences are located. Finally, several outstanding issues in prominence research are
discussed, along with observations and models required to resolve them. |
