Evidence for a Magnetic Flux Rope in Observations of a Solar Prominence-Cavity System

Coronal cavities are regions of low coronal emission that usually sit above solar prominences. These systems can exist for days or months before erupting. The magnetic structure of the prominence-cavity system during the quiescent period is important to understanding the pre-eruption phase. We descr...
