Supersonic Continuation of the Evershed Flow Outside a Sunspot as Observed with Hinode
We report on the discovery of mostly horizontal field channels just outside sunspot penumbrae (in the so-called "moat" region) that are seen to sustain...
Temporal and center-to-limb variations of the K I 769.9 NM line profiles in quiet and active solar regions
The temporal and spatial behaviour of the K I 769.9 nm solar line are investigated using several series of high spectral resolution low-noise photoelectric...
Temporal Evolution of Fine Structures in and around Solar Pores
Time series of high-resolution white-light images of six solar pores, observed in 1993 and 1995 at the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope (La Palma), are analyzed...
Temporal evolution of the Evershed flow in sunspots. I. Observational characterization of Evershed clouds
Context: The magnetic and kinematic properties of the photospheric Evershed flow are relatively well known, but not completely understood. The evolution of the...
Testing new ideas of sunspot formation: the negative effective magnetic pressure instability
The formation of active regions and its most visible outcome-sunspots-are still a matter of research. Magnetic flux tubes theory tends to explain the formation...
An analysis of high-resolution Stokes observations of two light bridges in the active region NOAA 8990 is presented. The observations were recorded with the La...
The continuum intensity-magnetic field relation in sunspot umbrae
We describe the work carried out to obtain observational evidence of a local relation between the temperature and the magnetic field in different regions of...
The Coronal Power Spectrum from MHD Mode Conversion above Sunspots
Sunspots are intense regions of magnetic flux that are rooted deep below the photosphere. It is well established that sunspots host magnetohydrodynamic waves...
