Description
We report two-dimensional MHD simulations which demonstrate that
photospheric 5 minute oscillations can leak into the chromosphere inside
small-scale vertical magnetic flux tubes. The results of our numerical
experiments are compatible with those inferred from simultaneous
spectropolarimetric observations of the photosphere and chromosphere
obtained with the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP) at 10830 Å.
We conclude that the efficiency of energy exchange by radiation in the
solar photosphere can lead to a significant reduction of the cutoff
frequency and may allow for the propagation of the 5 minute waves
vertically into the chromosphere.

Solar and Stellar Magnetism
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
