Physics of Solar Prominences: I—Spectral Diagnostics and Non-LTE Modelling

Heinzel, P.; Vial, J. -C.; Parenti, S. +5 more

This review paper outlines background information and covers recent advances made via the analysis of spectra and images of prominence plasma and the increased sophistication of non-LTE ( i.e. when there is a departure from Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium) radiative transfer models. We first describe the spectral inversion techniques that have bee…
