Impact of Dynamic State on the Mass Condensation Rate of Solar Prominences
@article{Kaneko2018ImpactOD, title={Impact of Dynamic State on the Mass Condensation Rate of Solar Prominences}, author={T. Kaneko and Takaaki Yokoyama}, journal={The Astrophysical Journal}, year={2018}, volume={869} }
The interiors of quiescent prominences are filled with turbulent flows. The evolution of upflow plumes, descending pillars, and vortex motions has been clearly detected in high-resolution observations. The Rayleigh–Taylor instability is thought to be a driver of such internal flows. Descending pillars are related to the mass budgets of prominences. There is a hypothesis of dynamic equilibrium where the mass drainage via descending pillars and the mass supply via radiative condensation are…
