Magnetic Structure of Sunspots
In this review we give an overview about the current state-of-knowledge of the magnetic field in sunspots from an observational point of view. We start by offering a brief description of tools that are most commonly employed to infer the magnetic field in the solar atmosphere with emphasis in the photosphere of sunspots. We then address separately the global and local magnetic structure of suns...
متن کاملFine Structure in Sunspots
■ Abstract Important physical processes on the Sun, and especially in sunspots, occur on spatial scales at or below the limiting resolution of current solar telescopes. Over the past decade, using a number of new techniques, high-resolution observations have begun to reveal the complex thermal and magnetic structure of a sunspot, along with associated flows and oscillations. During this time re...
متن کاملModeling the Subsurface Structure of Sunspots
While sunspots are easily observed at the solar surface, determining their subsurface structure is not trivial. There are two main hypotheses for the subsurface structure of sunspots: the monolithic model and the cluster model. Local helioseismology is the only means by which we can investigate subphotospheric structure. However, as current linear inversion techniques do not yet allow helioseis...
متن کاملThe Origin of Penumbral Structure in Sunspots: Downward Pumping of Magnetic Flux
This paper offers the first coherent picture of the interactions between convection and magnetic fields that lead to the formation of the complicated filamentary structure of a sunspot penumbra. Recent observations have revealed the intricate interlocking-comb structure of the penumbral magnetic field. Some field lines, with associated Evershed outflows, plunge below the solar surface near the ...
متن کاملPenumbral structure and outflows in simulated sunspots.
Sunspots are concentrations of magnetic field on the visible solar surface that strongly affect the convective energy transport in their interior and surroundings. The filamentary outer regions (penumbrae) of sunspots show systematic radial outward flows along channels of nearly horizontal magnetic field. These flows were discovered 100 years ago and are present in all fully developed sunspots....
