The final Section 8 summarizes areas that will likely be the focus of future research. 2 Plume Morphology In this section, we review the long path taken from early eclipse observations of plumes in WL, to the acquisition of XUV data and to the recent STEREO observations of these features ...
Solar prominences are one of the most common features of the solar atmosphere. They are found in the corona but they are one hundred times cooler and denser than the coronal material, indicating that they are thermally and pressure isolated from the surrounding environment. Because of these prope...
Sunspot area as a function of latitude and time. The average daily sunspot area for each solar rotation since May 1874 is plotted as a function of time in the lower panel. The relative area in equal area latitude strips is illustrated with a color code in the upper panel. Sunspots form i...
