Scientific paper

High-resolution two-dimensional spectro-polarimetric observations of oscillations in the photospheric layers of a sunspot have been obtained using the Vacuum Tower Telescope at Tenerife. A Fabry-Perot interferometer has been applied to get narrow-band filtergrams directly and to scan through the line profile. The spectra show significant power of oscillations of velocity $v$ and of the magnetic field strength as well. Both are concentrated in bands of peaks at periods around 3 min ($v$ strengthened) and 5 min ($v$ weakened with respect to the quiet Sun), with maxima occuring in those parts of the umbra where the magnetic lines of force are parallel to the line-of-sight. Coherence and the phase difference between both types of oscillations show a clear dependence on the magnetic field direction as well.
