Mass of prominences experiencing failed eruptions

Abstract A number of solar filaments/prominences demonstrate failed eruptions, when a filament at first suddenly starts to ascend and then decelerates stops some greater height in the corona. The mechanism termination eruptions is not clear yet. One confining forces able stop eruption gravity force. Using simple model partial current-carrying torus loop anchored photosphere photospheric magnetic field measurements as boundary condition for potential extrapolation into corona, we estimated masses 15 eruptive filaments. values mass show rather wide distribution range $4\times10^{15}$ – $270\times10^{16}$ g. Masses most filaments, laying middle range, are accordance with estimations made earlier on basis spectroscopic white-light observations.
