  1. Solar Prominence Properties derived from theUV-EUV SUMER spectral atlas S. Parenti, J.-C. Vial, P. Lemaire IAS, Univeristé Paris Sud

  2. The atlas: motivation To carefully determine the complex physicalcharacteristics of theprominence. • We use SUMER (high spatial and spectral resolutions)to build an UV-EUV spectral Atlas. • A large spectral coverage in UV-EUV gives the coverage of a large range of temperatures (Chromosphere – Prominence Corona TR – Corona) • Spectroscopic informations: o, FWHM dynamics line Intensity N,T, Emission Measure, AX First complete atlas between 800 and 1250 Å

  3. The data • Prominence and QS 10/’99 (MEDOC #4) • Spectral range: 800 - 1250 Å (det A) • Observation time  5:30h • Spectral windows of 40 Å ( 20 in the kbr)

  4. Ly 13 N II Ly 19 Ly 11 Ly 8

  5. Data processing • Determine the stray light contribution • Wavelength calibration for each spectral window, for the QS and prominence independently. • Multi-Gaussian line fitting of about 600 lines in each dataset. • Line identification and radiometric calibration. • About 30 new lines identified (mostly from ions at low ionization stage) between the QS and the prominence I, o, FWHM S. Parenti, J-C Vial, P. Lemaire, Sol. Phys, 220, 61, 2004

  6. S. Parenti, et al., 2004

  7. The final product

  8. The Differentiel Emission Measure • Selection of observed lines intensities • CHIANTI (v 4.2) atomic database (Mazzotta et al. Ion fraction; coronal abundances) • Inversion technique to estimateDEM(T) • QS ; PRM1

  9. The DEM: results Prominence A_1 Quiet Sun

  10. Non Thermal Velocities • Lines from allowed transitions, well isolated and intense • T is for the maximum ionization fraction. For the neutrals: Chae et al. 1998

  11. Non Thermal Velocities: results Chae et al., ApJ, 505, 957, 1998

  12. Future work • We have produced the first complete UV-EUV prominence atlas in the range 800 Å- 1250 Å • Still 350 Å to be processed • We derived DEMs and NTVs for both QS and prominence physical interpretation • More physical properties to be derived.. Thank you Philippe!!!!
