Abstract: | A survey of two years (1973 and 1979) of quiescent prominences reveals that substantially more (20 and 96% more, respectively, in the two years surveyed) quiescent prominences were formed on neutral lines between bipolar regions than on neutral lines inside bipolar regions.Present prominence models are based on the magnetic field configuration of the neutral lines of single bipolar regions, possibly because it is assumed that most prominences evolved from there. In view our new finding, a new model is needed in which the evolution begins at the boundary of two adjacent bipolar regions. |
