Description
We present results of the study of chromospheric and photospheric
line-of-sight velocity fields in the young active region NOAA 11024.
Multi-layer, multi-wavelength observational data were used for the
analysis of the emerging flux in this active region. Spectropolarimetric
observations were carried out with the telescope THEMIS on Tenerife
(Canary Islands) on 4 July 2009. In addition, space-borne data from
SOHO/MDI, STEREO and GOES were also considered. The combination of data
from ground- and space-based telescopes allowed us to study the dynamics
of the lower atmosphere of the active region with high spatial,
spectral, and temporal resolutions. THEMIS spectra show strong temporal
variations of the velocity in the chromosphere and photosphere for
various activity features: two pores, active and quiet plage regions,
and two surges. The range of variations of the chromospheric
line-of-sight velocity at the heights of the formation of the Hα
core was extremely large. Both upward and downward motions were observed
in these layers. In particular, a surge with upward velocities up to -73
km s-1 was detected. In the photosphere, predominantly upward
motions were found, varying from -3.1 km s-1 upflows to 1.4
km s-1 downflows in different structures. The velocity
variations at different levels in the lower atmosphere are compatible
with the emergence of magnetic flux.

Magnetic fields are at the base of star formation and stellar structure and evolution. When stars are born, magnetic fields brake the rotation during the collapse of the mollecular cloud. In the end of the life of a star, magnetic fields can play a key role in the form of the strong winds that lead to the last stages of stellar evolution. During
