Abstract: This study deals with prominence eruptions captured by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager/Full Sun Imager (EUI/FSI) on board the Solar Orbiter. We analyse a selection of 230 eruptions from the detailed catalogue available at https://www.sidc.be/EUI/solar-eruptions, focusing on events where prominences reach projected heights beyond 2 solar radii. The large field of view (up to fourteen solar radii) allows FSI to observe solar eruptions from the solar disc up to heights never before observed in EUV passbands. This makes the instrument uniquely suited for tracing the early phases of eruptions through the middle corona. The large set of investigated events offers a wide perspective on the inherent variability within these phenomena. This statistical analysis aims at uncovering the various properties of these eruptions, such as speed and deflection, morphological features, 3D characteristics, and their interaction with neighbouring magnetic field structures. We present here the status of this statistical study with an overview of the observed prominence eruptions and their properties. We focus especially on the difficulties we experienced due to limitations in the data and how the Vigil mission can contribute to this type of study to overcome these obstacles.
