Umbral dots (UDs) were observed in a stable sunspot in NOAA 10944 by the Hinode Solar Optical Telescope on 2007 March 1. The observation program consisted of blue continuum images and spectropolarimetric profiles of Fe I 630 nm line. An…
The Hinode satellite opens a new era to the sunspots research, because of its high spatial resolution and temporal stability. Fine scale structures in sunspots, called umbral dots (UDs), have become one of the hottest topics in terms of the…
High resolution imaging observation of a sunspot umbra was done with Hinode Solar Optical Telescope (SOT). Filtergrams in wavelengths of blue and green continuum were taken during three consecutive days. The umbra consisted of a dark core…
Umbral dots (UDs) are small isolated brightenings observed in sunspot umbrae. They are convective phenomena existing inside umbrae. UDs are usually divided into central UDs (CUDs) and peripheral UDs (PUDs) according to their positions…
Umbral dots (UDs) are small-scale convective intrusions in the umbral core of sunspots and pores. Different methods have been used in the past to determine the physical properties of UDs. One of the methods typically used is multi-level…
We investigate the magnetic field of a sunspot in the upper chromosphere and compare it to the field's photospheric properties. We observed the main leading sunspot of the active region NOAA 11124 on two days with the Tenrife Infrared…
We present a 106-minute TiO (705.7nm) time series of high spatial and temporal resolution that contains thousands of umbral dots (UDs) in a mature sunspot in the active region NOAA 10667 at $\mu$=0.95. The data were acquired with the 1-m…
It was empirically determined that the umbra-penumbra boundaries of stable sunspots are characterized by a constant value of the vertical magnetic field. We analyzed the evolution of the photospheric magnetic field properties of a decaying…

Solar activity is controlled by the magnetic field, which also causes the variability of the solar irradiance that in turn is thought to influence the climate on Earth. The magnetic field manifests itself in the form of structures of…
Umbral dots (UDs) were observed using the 1.6 meter solar telescope. Achieved conventional diffraction limit in the TiO 705.68 nm spectral line used was 0.1". The 418 UDs were analysed. Median diameter was 0.5'' and median intensity…
