Description
Large-amplitude oscillations in prominences are among the most
spectacular phenomena of the solar atmosphere. Such an oscillations
involve motions with velocities above 20 km/s, and large portions of the
filament that move in phase. These are triggered by energetic
disturbances as flares and jets. These oscillations are an excellent
tool to probe the not directly measurable filament morphology. In
addition, the damping of these motions can be related with the process
of evaporation of chromospheric plasma associated to coronal heating. In
these talk I will show recent observational and theoretical progress on
large-amplitude seismology on prominences.
