✦ Synopsis

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 features increases with increasing line shift.

Some implications on the stability of prominences by these structures are discussed briefly.

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

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.
