Scientific paper

Observations of quiescent prominences with the Zeiss Universal Birefringent Filter at Sacramento Peak show short-lived brightenings and velocity transients in H-alpha and D3. The larger events range in area from 25 to 170 square arc sec, have lifetimes of approximately 30 min, velocities of 30 km/s, and total energy excesses up to 7 x 10 to the 27th ergs. These events do not disrupt the stable structure of the prominence, and are interpreted as either condensation events or low energy flares.
