Open AccessOn the Physical Nature of the so-Called Prominence Tornadoes
The term ‘tornado’ has been used in recent years to describe several solar phenomena, from large-scale eruptive prominences to small-scale photospheric vortices. It has also been applied to the generally stabl...

Open AccessThe Influence of the Solar Coronal Radiation on Coronal Plasma Structures, I: Determination of the Incident Coronal Radiation
Coronal structures receive radiation not only from the solar disc, but also from the corona. This height-dependent incident radiation plays a crucial role in the excitation and the ionisation of the illuminate...

Derivation of the Major Properties of Prominences Using NLTE Modelling
I introduce techniques to derive the major properties of prominences based on NLTE modelling. The main results of one- and two-dimensional models of the prominences and their fine-structures are presented. Mod...
