Popis: Prominence eruptions or disappearances observed with an Hα limb filtergraph can be classified into 3 categories, the eruptive prominence, the quasi-eruptive prominence , and the disappearing prominence . We investigated their mechanism by comparing the results of simultaneous observations by Yohkoh SXT and Hα. We found that soft X-ray features change in both eruptive prominences and quasieruptive prominences , whereas no significant change takes place in disappearing prominences . In one prominence eruption event soft X-ray cusp structure suggests that the reconnection point is just below the Hα prominence.
