Scientific paper

The existence of many structures of cool plasma in the solar chromosphere that extend much above the pressure scale height suggests that these structures are supported against gravity by mechanisms other than hydrostatic support. One possible mechanism is magnetic support, and the other is dynamic support. To reveal which is the dominant mechanism of non-hydrostatic support of chromospheric plasma, we have taken high resolution images of the chromosphere at the limb and on the disk by using the New Solar Telescope (NST) at Big Bear. We will report different kinds of chromospheric features/events which may hold a key to this problem.
