An analysis of high-resolution Stokes observations of two light bridges in the active region NOAA 8990 is presented. The observations were recorded with the La...
The continuum intensity-magnetic field relation in sunspot umbrae
We describe the work carried out to obtain observational evidence of a local relation between the temperature and the magnetic field in different regions of...
The Coronal Power Spectrum from MHD Mode Conversion above Sunspots
Sunspots are intense regions of magnetic flux that are rooted deep below the photosphere. It is well established that sunspots host magnetohydrodynamic waves...
The dependence of the magnetism of a near-limb sunspot on height
Context. The physical parameters of the sunspot are not fully understood, especially the height dependence of the magnetic field. So far, it is also an open...
The distribution of sunspot decay rates is studied using the Greenwich Photoheliographic Results (GPR) for a total of approximately hundred years between 1874...
The effect of stellar activity on the Li I 6708, Na I 5896 and K I 7699 Å lines. A comparison with the Pleiades, field stars and the Sun
An analytical model has been developed to empirically study the effects of stellar spots and faculae on the observed equivalent widths of Li i 6708, Na i 5896...
The Electrical Current Density Vector in the Inner Penumbra of a Sunspot
We determine the entire electrical current density vector in a geometrical three-dimensional volume of the inner penumbra of a sunspot from an inversion of...
The Evershed Effect Observed with 0.2" Angular Resolution
We present an analysis of the Evershed effect observed with a resolution of 0.2". Using the new Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope and its Littrow spectrograph, we...
Aims.We investigate the flow field in the sunspot canopy using simultaneous Stokes vector spectropolarimetry of three sunspots (θ=27°, 50°, 75°) and their...
