In this Letter we present a seismological detection of a rising motion of magnetic flux in the shallow convection zone of the Sun, and show estimates of the emerging speed and its decelerating nature. In order to evaluate the speed of…
The Sun features on its surface typical flow patterns called the granulation, mesogranulation, and supergranulation. These patterns arise due to convective flows transporting energy from the interior of the Sun to its surface. In this paper…
Solar flares occur due to the sudden release of energy stored in active-region magnetic fields. To date, the pre-cursors to flaring are still not fully understood, although there is evidence that flaring is related to changes in the…
Data for 3046 solar active regions (ARs) observed since May 12, 1996 to December 27, 2021 were utilized to explore how the magnetic fluxes from ARs of different complexity follow the solar cycle. Magnetograms from the Michelson Doppler…
In this work, we have studied the temporal evolution of some properties of a sample of superactive regions with the aim to single out the most significant for flare activity forecasting. We have investigated properties of 14 superactive…
Temporal variations of the subsurface meridional flow with the solar cycle have been reported by several authors. The measurements are typically averaged over periods of time during which surface magnetic activity existed in the regions…
We present a study of wave processes occurring in solar active region NOAA 11131 on 2010 December 10, captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory in the 1600A, 304A, and 171A channels. For spectral analysis we employed pixelised wavelet…
Context. Observations of many active regions show a slow systematic outflow/upflow from their edges lasting from hours to days. At present no physical explanation has been proven, while several suggestions have been put forward. Aims. This…
Active region NOAA 11035 appeared in December 2009, early in the new solar activity cycle. This region achieved a delta sunspot ($\delta$-spot) configuration when parasitic flux emerged near the rotationally leading magnetic polarity and…
Using a recently suggested magneto-morphological classification (MMC, Abramenko, 2021, MNRAS Vol 507) of solar active regions (ARs), we explored 3048 ARs, observed from12 May 1996 to 27 December 2021. Magnetograms were acquired with the…
High-spectral resolution observations using the VTT echelle spectrograph in the chromospheric H$\alpha$ line were obtained in the early growth phase of active region NOAA 12722. Noise-stripped H$\alpha$ line profiles yield maps of line-core…
In recent high-resolution observations of complex active regions, long-lasting and well-defined regions of strong flows were identified in major flares and associated with bright kernels of visible, near-infrared, and X-ray radiation. These…
We analyse the topology of photospheric magnetic fields and sub-photospheric flows of several active regions (ARs) that are observed during the peak to descending phase of the solar cycle 23. Our analysis shows clear evidence of hemispheric…
Using data from the Helioseismic Magnetic Imager, we report on the amplitudes and phase relations of oscillations in quiet-Sun, plage, umbra and the polarity inversion line (PIL) of an active region NOAA$\#$11158. We employ Fourier, wavelet…
The solar active region NOAA 11719 produced a large two-ribbon flare on 11 April 2013. We have investigated the sudden variations in the photospheric magnetic fields in this active region during the flare employing the magnetograms obtained…
The active region NOAA 11158 produced the first X-class flare of Solar Cycle 24, an X2.2 flare at 01:44 UT on 2011 February 15. Here we analyze SDO/HMI magnetograms covering a 12-hour interval centered at the time of this flare. We describe…
Magnetic fields emerging from the Sun's interior carry information about physical processes of magnetic field generation and transport in the convection zone. Soon after appearance on the solar surface the magnetic flux gets concentrated in…
In a recent paper (Svanda et al., 2008, A&A 477, 285) we pointed out that, based on the tracking of Doppler features in the full-disc MDI Dopplergrams, the active regions display two dynamically different regimes. We speculated that this…
