Time-Latitude Prominence and the Green Corona Distribution Over the Solar Activity Cycle
Abstract We present a distribution of prominences over the solar cycle activity. There are found both polar and equatorial branches of prominences that migrate in opposite directions. Prominences of the high-latitude crown migrate, starting in the minimum of the cycle, towards the poles, which they...

| Summary: | Abstract We present a distribution of prominences over the solar cycle activity. There are found both polar and equatorial branches of prominences that migrate in opposite directions. Prominences of the high-latitude crown migrate, starting in the minimum of the cycle, towards the poles, which they reach at the maximum of the cycle and then decay. The equatorward-migrating branch of prominences appears also in the minimum of the cycle at mid-latitudes and disappears at the end of the cycle. The distribution of the prominences is compared with a time-latitudinal distribution of the green corona. It is assumed that the polar branches in cycle 23 will reach the poles in 2002 (the north pole) and 2003 (the south one), respectively. |
