✦ Synopsis


A random-clustering model of prominence fine-structure has been applied to observations of prominence Ha spectra. The model yields an estimate of the number of unresolved elements that form an individual resolved feature, and sets limits on their velocity and Ha profile dispersions.

The vertical fine structure in a quiescent prominence was modelled as an assembly of very narrow, optically thin threads. Random clusterings of the threads can account for the observed contrast and He line profiles of the fine structures. In this picture, each structure consists of a cluster of 7-20

Faint, Doppler shifted, emission features are detected in high resolution spectra of limb prominences. Their average line-of-sight velocity is about 3 x 106 cm s i, their average life time is 300 s, and their angular sizes are ~<10 s cm in our spectrograms. The emission line width of the spectral fe

A quiescent prominence has been observed with the MSDP spectrograph at the Pic du Midi Observatory. He profiles are obtained simultaneously in a 2D field, allowing a statistical analysis. The standard deviations of Doppler shifts and line widths are investigated as functions of the line intensity. T
