Dynamics of quiescent prominences : proceedings of the no. 117 Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union, Hvar, SR Croatia, Yugoslavia 1989

For some time to come, this book should be the main source for research in prominences. It surveys the results of the past years, including the "Hvar Reference Atmosphere", which was developed by a panel as a model for quiescent prominences. The reader will find papers on the formation of and physical conditions in prominences, on magnetic fields, on mass motion and energy flow, and on the prominence-corona interface. Surveys research results in the field of quiescent prominences. Topics include the formation of and physical conditions of prominences on magnetic fields, on mass motion and energy flow, and on the prominence-corona interface.
