Sunspots, Sun: Magnetic Fields

Scientific paper

Recent observations have revealed the interlocking-comb structure of the magnetic field in the outer penumbra of a sunspot. We have argued that this structure owes its origin in part to downward pumping of magnetic flux by vigorous granular convection in the region surrounding the spot. Here we stress the difference between the inner and outer penumbra, and correct some misleading assertions in a recent paper by Spruit & Scharmer.
