Two-horn quiescent prominence observed in H-alpha and MgII h&k lines with THEMIS and IRIS

Prominences are large magnetic structures in the corona filled by cool plasma with fast evolving fine structure. We aim to better understand the plasma conditions in the fine structure of a quiescent prominence including two transient horns observed at the bottom of the cavity using the high-resolut...

description Prominences are large magnetic structures in the corona filled by cool plasma with fast evolving fine structure. We aim to better understand the plasma conditions in the fine structure of a quiescent prominence including two transient horns observed at the bottom of the cavity using the high-resolution spectrograph IRIS and the MulTi-Raies (MTR) spectrograph of the THEMIS in the Canary Islands. We analysed the spectra obtained in H-alpha by THEMIS and MgII by IRIS and compare them with a grid of 23940 1D radiative transfer models which include a prominence-to-corona transition region (PCTR). The full observed profiles of MgII in each pixel are fitted completely by synthesised profiles with xRMS (Cross RMS; an improved version of the rolling root mean square (rRMS) method). When the RMS is below a certain threshold value, we recover the plasma conditions from the parameters of the model best fitting the observed line profile. This criterion is met in two regions (the horns and edge of the prominence) where the line profiles can generally be described as single peaked. The 1D models suggest that two different kinds of model atmospheres correspond to these two regions. The region at the edge is found to be fitted mainly with isothermal and isobaric models, while the other area (the horns) is seen to be fitted with models with a PCTR that have optical thicknesses
