โฆ Synopsis
Ha filtergrams of the chromosphere show an emission rim in many hydrogen filaments. We suppose that formation of this rim is due to photospheric radiation reflected by the filament in the direction of the chromosphere. The calculations show that: (1) the maximum contrast of the rim relative to the undisturbed chromosphere amounts to 1.4; (2) the larger the optical thickness of the filament and the closer to the solar limb it is situated, the brighter and wider is the rim; (3) the rim was not observed in filaments whose heights exceeds 10000 km above the chromosphere. These results are in close agreement with observations.

The possibility of surge formation as a result of plasma 'raking-up', the latter being associated with the growth of the local magnetic field in the solar atmosphere, is considered in this paper. The question is treated numerically in the MHD approximation for the case of the dipolar magnetic field.
