Scientific paper

Flare generated Moreton waves have been historically observed to activate filaments located at regions far from the flare site, causing them to oscillate (sometimes referred to as “winking”). A recent example of such an activation occurred on December 6, 2006 in which a large flare occurring near the east limb created a dramatic response in a filament located far to the south. We present an analysis of this filament activation using He I (1083 nm) intensity and velocity data taken at the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO). The He I (1083 nm) line-of-sight velocity data provide a close examination of the motions and velocities involved in this dynamic filament response.
