Scientific paper
In this paper we present theoretical models of quiescent prominences which satisfy the constraints of radiative, magnetohydrostatic, and statistical equilibrium. We obtain reasonable models only if we assume that the exciting ultraviolet radiation field can penetrate diffusely into the slab, or that there is a source of nonradiative energy input. The computed temperatures in our models are in good agreement with observational estimates. The models reproduce most observed features of these objects quite well, and should provide a good starting point to study further the formation of prominence spectra and the effects of nonradiative energy inputs.
