Abstract

We present SDO/AIA observations of a potentially novel type of prominence, called "funnel prominence", that forms out of coronal condensation at magnetic dips. They can drain a large amount of mass (up to ∼1015 g day-1) and may play an important role as return flows of the chromosphere-corona mass cycle.
