Recent measurements of the polarization of the Hel D3 line (λ5876Å) in solar prominences (Hanle effect) have been used to infer new data about prominence magnetic field (Leroy 1977, Leroy et al. 1977, Sahal-Brèchot et al. 1977). The derived field strengths are in good agreement with previous magnetographic measurements obtained at several observatories in USA (Rust 1972). Using the Hanle effect also gives the direction of the magnetic field, which is a crusial parameter in theories of prominences (Kippenhahn and Schlüter 1957, Anzer 1968, Malville 1976). Some theories require a horizontal oriented magnetic field in the prominences. High quality optical observations, on the other hand, resolve predominantly vertically oriented prominence microstructure (Dunn 1972, Engvold 1976).

The Hanle effect in the 3s2 1S0–3s4p1P1 (2026 Å) transition of Mg I has been studied over a range of densities. The low density observations lead to an accurate lifetime measurement of the 4p1P1 excited level. Related oscillator strengths are calculated.

AbstractQuiescent solar prominences are cool and dense plasma clouds located inside the hot and less dense solar corona. They are highly dynamic structures displaying flows, instabilities, oscillatory motions, etc. The oscillations have been mostly interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves, which has allowed to perform prominence seismology as a tool to determine prominence physical parameters difficult to measure. Here, several prominence seismology applications to large and small amplitude oscillations are reviewed.

AbstractSeismology has become a powerful tool in studies of the magnetic structure of solar prominences and filaments. Reversely, analytical and numerical models are guided by available information about the spatial and thermodynamical structure of these enigmatic structures. The present invited paper reviews recent observational results on oscillations and waves as well as details about small-scale structures and dynamics of prominences and filaments.
