2016-12-20T19:05:07 --> 2016-12-20T19:13:27

Slit crosses just before jet is best seen. Similar events to this in the previous and following raster.

2016-12-26T10:00:06 --> 2016-12-26T14:00:06

This eruption is seen almost exclusively in 304 A images. There is no clear post eruption arcade system or flare ribbon. Two possibilities are: the eruption occurred in high altitudes, not affecting the low corona, or this represents a sideway motion of the filament, which does not erupt.

2016-12-25T09:00:06 --> 2016-12-25T16:00:06

Although intensity images simply show some motions that might activate the filament, difference images of hours apart show dimming and brightening, indicating a minor eruption (not confirmed).

This event is shows a tornado-like prominence at the west limb, which was observed for a number of orbits. This is only one orbit between eclipses. In Mg II we do not see any obvious rotational signatures, but there does appear to be a lot of counter-streaming in this event. The tornado-like columns, as seen in AIA 171 context images, appear to be more easily identifiable in this Mg II movie than in previous observations, and with the raster steps covering much of the main prominence body this data could be very useful for unraveling the mystery of these 'solar tornadoes'.

The third and final orbit studying coronal rain over AR 12615 above the western limb. This data is nearly SAA free, and the loop legs cross the slit separately, meaning there should be some good spectral data of the rain as it falls down the loops.

2016-12-10T21:25:41 --> 2016-12-10T22:32:59

The second of three studies of the coronal rain above AR 12615. We again see the loop structure above the active region, with material streaming from the tops of the loops back to the solar surface. After the SAA the slit crosses a newly-formed loop at both legs, meaning the material is falling 'through' the slit.

2016-12-10T19:57:33 --> 2016-12-10T20:55:09

As AR 12615 passed over the western limb and off the disc, it showed some spectacular coronal rain. In this event there are three main loop-like arcades, with the IRIS slit just catching the top of two of them. Towards the end of the sequence the southmost loop empties, leaving just two loops. This was the first of three orbits during which this event was studied.

2016-12-08T06:42:37 --> 2016-12-08T07:08:37

Tornado-like prominences have shown some evidence of rotation from previous observations, however when observed in Mg II by IRIS we see a different story. This channel shows a much more horizontal structure, where the column-like structure (seen in AIA 171 context) is not visible. The question is still open about the true nature of these events, and observations like this will help answer these questions and constrain models of these intriguing events.

2016-12-07T17:14:52 --> 2016-12-07T18:08:01

A bubble appears to move upwards in a prominence on the west limb. The bubble is seen clearly in the Mg II filter, with the slit crossing the bubble as it appears.

During a study looking for explosive events, running a sit-and-stare on AR 12615, a small B class flare went off, and the flare ribbon crossed the IRIS slit. This is an extremely high cadence observation of a flare.

Small brightening are observed along the slit. These brightening are accompanied by clear line broadening in the Ca II and Si IV lines.
