The properties of penumbral microjets inclination
نویسنده
چکیده
Aims. We investigate the dependence of penumbral microjets inclination on the position within penumbra. Methods. The high cadence observations taken on 10 November 2006 with the Hinode satellite through the Ca ii H and G–band filters were analysed to determine the inclination of penumbral microjets. The results were then compared with the inclination of the magnetic field determined through the inversion of the spectropolarimetric observations of the same region. Results. The penumbral microjet inclination is increasing towards the outer edge of the penumbra. The results suggest that the penumbral microjet follows the opening magnetic field lines of a vertical flux tube that creates the sunspot.

Recent Evidence for Convection in Sunspot Penumbrae
Whereas penumbral models during the last 15 years have been successful in explaining Evershed flows and magnetic field inclination variations in terms of flux tubes, the lack of contact between these models and a convective process needed to explain the penumbral radiative heat flux has been disturbing. We report on recent observational and theoretical evidence that challenge flux tube interpre...
متن کاملCrisp Spectropolarimetric Imaging of Penumbral Fine Structure
We discuss penumbral fine structure in a small part of a pore, observed with the CRISP imaging spectropolarimeter at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST), close to its diffraction limit of 0. 16. Milne–Eddington inversions applied to these Stokes data reveal large variations of field strength and inclination angle over dark-cored penumbral intrusions and a dark-cored light bridge. The mid-oute...
متن کاملPenumbral models in the light of Hinode spectropolarimetric observations
Aims. The realism of current models of the penumbra is assessed by comparing their predictions with the plasma properties of penumbral filaments as retrieved from spectropolarimetric observations. Methods. The spectropolarimeter onboard Hinode allows us to distinguish for the first time the fine structure of the penumbra. Therefore, we can use one-component inversions to obtain the stratificati...
متن کاملSpectral signature of uncombed penumbral magnetic fields
The uncombed penumbral model proposed by Solanki & Montavon (1993) is used to understand some recent observational results found in penumbrae. This model uses a penumbral magnetic field structured into horizontal flux tubes embedded in a more vertical background field. A modified version of this model, with a weaker field strength in the horizontal tubes, is used to explain the gradient with he...
متن کاملEvolution of a Magnetic Flux Tube in a Sunspot Penumbra
The motion of an individual magnetic flux tube inside the penumbra of a sunspot is studied numerically. Here, we present preliminary results. The thin flux tube approximation together with a simplified radiative heat exchange with the surroundings is used to study the evolution of a flux tube embedded into a background given by a global magneto-static sunspot model. The investigation is underta...
