Scientific paper

A sequence of images taken at different positions in the resonance lines of Ca II, Mg II, and H I was obtained over a quiescent prominence with the LPSP instrument on OSO-8. Ca II K (and H) profiles are reconstructed at different locations in the prominence with a (10 × 5) arc sec2 resolution. Significant variations of FWHM and line shifts are found: FWHM range from 0.14 Å to 0.5 Å; blue shifts reach about 14 km s-1. The ratio of K to H absolute intensities shows a large spread around the average value of 1.2. The same ratio for the Mg II lines in the whole prominence is higher (1.7), a fact already noticed at the edge of an active prominence (Vial et al., 1979). The ionization degree, as measured by the Lα/Ca K ratio, shows noticeable variations within the prominence. The La intensity is about 0.3 times the intensity measured in the quiet Sun, and the Lα/Lβ ratio is less than one half the disk value. These results indicate important variations of the thermal conditions inside the prominence.
