Abstract:In this context, we utilized a simplified representation of the curved cylinder flux tube to approximate the helical structure of the prominence. By considering the bright helical features as indicators of the magnetic field, we measured the average twist angle of the prominence legs. To gather the necessary data, we obtained image data with a wavelength of 171 Å from the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO)/Advanced Imaging Assembly (AIA) archive. We employed some IDL routines within the SolarSoft (SSW) package to… Show more
