The H-alpha emission in the cavity is >16 times smaller than in its surroundings. The cavity propagates almost with the phase-velocity of MHD compressive waves. We suggest a disruption of the lateral magnetic stability. The Ca II 8542 spectra indicate a material outflow along the lines of force up to 12 km/s.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-10-26T13:04:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "observation", "instability", "lateral magnetic stability", "times smaller", "material outflow" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1193283 } } }
