Description
The rise of kink-unstable magnetic flux tubes through the solar convection zone is discussed with a view to explaining the subsurface origin of active regions. In spite of the advances and insights obtained by analytical and numerical means in the past decade(s), there are still important uncertainties as to the viability of a mechanism of this kind to explain the origin of sunspots and active regions. In this paper, the main features of the rise of kink unstable tubes and some open questions regarding this process are presented.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
