17. Some considerations on thermal conduction and magnetic fields in prominences
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Abstract
Prominences which extend into the million degree temperature region of the corona will, in the absence of magnetic fields, be heated up to temperatures of the same order of magnitude in the course of at most a few hours. A magnetic field of reasonable magnitude inside the prominence, will, however, be sufficient to cut down thermal conduction and turbulence to such an extent that the long life of some prominences seems understandable.
