Area of Science:

  • Solar Physics
  • Plasma Astrophysics
  • Heliophysics

Background:

  • Extensive 70-year observational data on quiescent solar prominence oscillations.
  • Two main oscillation types identified: large-amplitude flare-induced (winking filaments) and small-amplitude local oscillations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent theoretical and observational developments in solar prominence oscillations.
  • To provide insights into the internal structure and properties of solar prominences.
  • To suggest future research directions for a deeper understanding of solar prominences.

Main Methods:

  • Review of observational data on solar prominence oscillations.
  • Analysis of theoretical models explaining oscillation phenomena.
  • Synthesis of recent advancements in prominence seismology.

Main Results:

  • Flare-induced oscillations (winking filaments) are large-amplitude and affect the whole prominence.
  • Small-amplitude oscillations are typically local in nature.
  • Numerous theoretical models exist for small-amplitude oscillations, fewer for winking filaments.

Conclusions:

  • Prominence seismology is crucial for inferring solar prominence internal structure.
  • Continued research integrating theory and observation is needed.
  • Future studies should focus on refining models and observational techniques for both oscillation types.
