The atlas: motivationThe atlas: motivation
To carefully determine the complex physical characteristics of the prominence.
• We use SUMER (high spatial and spectral resolutions) to build an UV-EUV spectral Atlas.
• A large spectral coverage in UV-EUV gives the coverage of a large range of temperatures (Chromosphere – Prominence Corona TR – Corona)
• Spectroscopic informations:o, FWHM dynamics
line Intensity N,T, Emission Measure, AX
First complete First complete atlasatlas between 800 a between 800 andnd 1250 1250 ÅÅ
The dataThe data• Prominence and QS 10/’99 (MEDOC #4)• Spectral range: 800 - 1250 Å (det A)• Observation time 5:30h• Spectral windows of 40 Å ( 20 in the kbr)

Data processingData processing
• Determine the stray light contribution• Wavelength calibration for each spectral
window, for the QS and prominence independently.
• Multi-Gaussian line fitting of about 600 lines in each dataset.
• Line identification and radiometric calibration.• About 30 new lines identified (mostly from ions
at low ionization stage) between the QS and the prominence

Future workFuture work
• We have produced the first complete UV-EUV prominence atlas in the range 800 Å - 1250 Å
• Still 350 Å to be processed• We derived DEMs and NTVs for both QS and
prominence
physical interpretation• More physical properties to be derived..
