Scientific paper

We summarize the recent progress made in magneto convection simulations of sunspot structure. Over the past 4 years simulations have evolved from local 6x6x2 Mm size domains focusing on the details of umbral dots to simulations covering a pair of opposite polarity spots in a 100x50x6 Mm domain. The simulations point out the common magneto convective origin of umbral dots and filaments in the inner penumbra and most recently also reveal the processes involved in the formation of an extended outer penumbra with strong horizontal outflows averaging around 5 km/s in the photosphere.
