Scientific paper

Although the existence of solar prominences has been known for more than a century, the present understanding of their internal structure and physical properties is far from satisfactory. An alternative way of obtaining more information on the nature of these objects consists of exploiting the fact that prominence material oscillates after being disturbed. The result is a new discipline (called prominence seismology) in which observational results, such as the period, wavelength, spatial distribution of oscillations, etc., and theoretical studies, so far based on the normal mode vibrations of prominence equilibrium models, are compared. Here, the main theoretical advances made up to now are reviewed and the key topics which should be the subject of future research for a further advancement of this field are outlined.
