Magnetic field lines threading the prominence barbs. The purple isosurface at T = 105 K outlines the cool prominence condensation. Barb-threading field lines are colored by temperature, and the lower boundary is colored by the radial magnetic field, Br. The zoomed views show that the barbs are supported by inclined, dipped field lines within the emerged flux rope.
