Description
Four main aspects of umbral and penumbral fine structures are
considered: brightness and morphology, magnetic field, velocity and
oscillations. The author discusses a model in which penetrative
convection produces peripheric umbral dots and upward flowing matter
which is channeled outwards, pushing the magnetic field aside. The
possibility of a non-thermal origin for the central umbral dots cannot
be excluded. This model is in agreement with the fine structure
observations.
