24 synoptic maps of average magnetic field in 296 prominences measured by the Hanle effect during the ascending phase of solar cycle 21

Résumé

Aims. We present 24 synoptic maps of solar filaments, in which the average unambiguous magnetic field vectors of 296 prominences were determined with Pic-du-Midi observations between 1974 and 1982. This was the ascending phase of cycle 21.Methods. The magnetic field was determined by interpreting the Hanle effect, which is observed in the He I D3 line. Previous results for the prominence field polarity and prominence chirality were applied to solve the fundamental ambiguity. The measurements were averaged in each prominence for accuracy reasons.Results. The result is twofold. First, alternating field directions can be observed from one neutral line to the next. Second, a general field alignment is found along a solar north-south field that is distorted by the differential rotation effect.
