The solar flaring atmosphere above sunspot observed during the event on October 20, 2003 was analysed. Many flaring structures were visible in projection onto the sunspot penumbra. We analysed the H? and Ca II line profiles emitted by the ribbons partially overlapping the sunspots. These observations were performed with the Multi-channel Infrared Solar Spectrograph (MISS) at Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO, China).
In the sunspot penumbra, the line intensity in far wings is lower than in a typical quiet-Sun profile but in the line centre the intensity of H? and Ca II lines is typical for flares. Using 1D approximation we tried to find the vertical structure of the flare observed above sunspot penumbra using the observations of these chromospheric line profiles.
NLTE radiative transfer techniques allowed us to model the atmosphere of flaring structures and fit both the synthetic H? and Ca II line profiles to the observed ones. We have determined semiempirical models of the flaring structure observed above sunspots.
In our analysis we showed that the flare emission observed within sunspot penumbra comes from geometrically thin loop-like structures located above the fibrils of the penumbra. The structure of the penumbra located below the flare is almost not affected by the flare. The flare emission in chromospheric lines comes not from the upper chromosphere but from the structures located higher in the corona. Therefore, we performed two-component modelling which well reproduce the flare emission above sunspot penumbra. In our model of the flaring layer we included the transition region which is necessary to obtain agreement between the observed and calculated line profiles.
