Are tornado-like magnetic structures able to support solar prominence plasma? [PDF]
, 2015 Recent high-resolution and high-cadence observations have surprisingly suggested that prominence barbs exhibit apparent rotating motions suggestive of a tornado-like structure. Additional evidence has been provided by Doppler measurements.
