Observations of Large-Scale Dynamic Bubbles in Prominences

Abstract

Solar prominences are very dynamic objects, showing continuous motions down to their smallest resolvable spatial and temporal scales. However, as macroscopic magnetic structures, they are remarkably stable during their quiescent phase. We present recent ground-based and Hinode observations of large-scale bubble-like, dynamic sub-structures that form within and rise through quiescent prominences without disrupting them. We investigate the similarities and differences of the Hinode and ground-based observations and discuss their implications for models of prominences.
