Hydrogen emission from moving solar prominences

Solar Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Brightness variations of the lines arising from a five-level hydrogen model atom, depending upon prominence velocities, have been investigated using a combination of two non-LTE techniques. The importance of the Doppler brightening and/or Doppler dimming effects is demonstrated for the lines of the Lyman and Balmer series.
