PublicationA high-resolution study of the structure of sunspot light bridges and abnormal granulation
Strong light bridges (SLBs) represent an abrupt change in the physical conditions of sunspot umbrae. They divide the umbra into separate units (fragments...

PublicationA measurement of the background solar velocity spectrum
Ten years of continuous measurements of the radial velocity of the Sun have been used to estimate the contribution of various solar surface phenomena to the...

PublicationA new determination of the solar granulation contrast
The contrast of the photospheric granulation in the centre of the disk at a wavelength of 500 nm has been determined by means of photographs taken during the...

PublicationAre the small active regions related to the decay of the larger ones?
To investigate the location of the actual limit for the different behavior, the active regions with fluxes greater than 10 to the 20 Mx are investigated. After...

PublicationAsymmetries and shifts of the solar K I 7699 A line and possible evidence for gravity waves in the quiet photosphere
A computing code has been developed to simulate the center-to-limb variation (CLV) of the bisector's shape, and absolute wavelength shift of the core in strong...

PublicationCentre-to-limb variation of solar granulation along the equator and the central meridian
The paper analyzes white-light images of solar granulation taken outside active regions, at regular intervals along the polar axis and the equator, in order to...

TalkConvectively driven vortex flows in the Sun
We have discovered small whirlpools in the Sun, with a size similar to the terrestrial hurricanes (<0.5 Mm). The theory of solar convection predicts them, but...

PublicationDetailed processes accompanying the decay of an active region
The decay of a small solar active region is studied with high-resolution magnetograms. The reduction process made it possible to match intensity and magnetic...
