Scientific paper

The stability of the Kippenhan-Schluter (1957) model prominence to ideal MHD perturbations is analyzed. It is shown that all modes with a product of gravitational field and perturbed velocity gradient equal to zero are stable. The analysis is done by self-consistently taking into account the spatial variation of equilibrium quantities (density, magnetic field) and looking for bounded eigenmodes. Some consequences (of the derived stability of perturbations) are drawn with regards to observed prominence phenomena.
