Abstract: | An extensive observational background about the existence of oscillations in quiescent solar prominences has been gathered
during the last twenty years. From these observations, information about different oscillatory parameters such as period,
wavelength, phase speed, damping time, etc., has been obtained. This observational background, combined with a growing number
of theoretical studies about magneto-hydrodynamic waves in prominences, should allow the development of prominence seismology
which, following helioseismology's approach, seeks to infer the internal structure and properties of solar prominences. The
most recent observational and theoretical developments on prominence oscillations are reviewed here, with an emphasis on the
aspects suitable to develop an observation versus theory feedback, but also pointing out key topics which should be the subject
of future research for a further advancement of this field. |
