Abstract
Since the publication of the book Solar Prominences by Tandberg-Hanssen (1974), prominences have been the subject of many theoretical and observational studies, as discussed and summarized in several reviews (Hirayama 1985, Poland 1986, Malherbe 1987). This chapter presents recent progress, mostly from an observational point of view in the understanding of the formation, structure, support and instabilities of solar prominences. Results of spectroscopic diagnostics (velocity, temperature and density) will be stressed.
