- Abstract
We analyzed multi-wavelength observations of the eruption of a small-scale filament on the quiet Sun. The filament first became thicker, then broke into two, and eventually underwent a partial eruption with possible rotating motion. The eruption was followed by a small flare with three bright kernels on either side of the eruptive section in H α and a small coronal dimming near one end of this section in EUV and soft X-ray. On the photosphere, MDI magnetograms show the flux emergence or motions and cancellation between opposite polarities before and during the filament eruption. We find that this small-scale filament shows the similar characteristics as the previous findings in the large-scale filament eruptions on the multi-wavelength, indicating the common nature.
