STUDY OF DOPPLER VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION IN AN ACTIVE PROMINENCE
To study kinematics of solar prominences, we have made Ha spectrographic study of an eruptive prominence which appeared on the 27th of August, 1992 with a position angle of 270 deg. The observation was carried out by a Littrow type spectrograph and a G1 CCD camera attached to the 25cm coronagraph at Norikura Coronal Station. In taking the spectral data the slit was placed in parallel to the solar limb at 7 different heights, each being separated by 5 arcsec with a time step of 30 sec. The observed eruptive prominence shows a wide range of line of sight Doppler velocity, spanning from Vdopp=−17.5km/stoVdopp=58.2km/s Vdopp=−17.5km/stoVdopp=58.2km/s . It is also found that the velocity increases with height at the rate of ΔV=0.86km/s/arcsec ΔV=0.86km/s/arcsec .
