Session Description:
The solar corona is hot and tenuous. Yet, it hosts a variety of mysteriously cool and dense plasma structures, primarily in two distinct forms - prominences and coronal rain. Their importance has been increasingly recognized, especially with the advent of the IRIS mission since 2013. They can involve a radiative cooling instability that causes hot coronal mass to condense and fall back to the chromosphere, closing the loop of the corona-chromosphere mass cycle and providing implications for the fundamental coronal heating problem. Some prominences form the cores of CMEs that are major drivers of space-weather disturbances. We invite contributions on such topics as observational and modeling investigations of the formation and dynamics of prominences and coronal rain, their magnetic and plasma environments, their relevant physical processes such as ion-neutral coupling and magnetic reconnection in partially ionized plasmas, their diagnostic applications, and their space-weather consequences and predictive potential.
