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 review
recent observational and theoretical progress on large-amplitude seismology on
prominences.
