We developed a method to automatically detect and trace solar filaments in H\alpha\ full-disk images. The program is able not only to recognize filaments and determine their properties, such as the position, the area, the spine, and other…
The spatial and temporal distributions of solar filaments were analyzed using data from the Meudon Observatory for the period 1919-2003 and the Kislovodsk Mountain Astronomical Station for the period 1979-2014. We scanned $H_\alpha$ solar…
Filament is a cool, dense structure suspended in the solar corona. The eruption of a filament is often associated with coronal mass ejection (CME), which has an adverse effect on space weather. Hence, the study of filament has attracted…
It is well known that solar filaments are features in the solar atmosphere which show a hemispheric preference in their chirality. The hemispheric preference is such that the dextral chirality dominates in the northern hemisphere while the…
Filaments are omnipresent features in the solar atmosphere. Their location, properties and time evolution can provide information about changes in solar activity and assist the operational space weather forecast. Therefore, filaments have…
