In the immediate sunspots' vicinity -- their superpenumbra -- 3-minute line-of-sight (LOS) velocity oscillations dominate in the photosphere and chromosphere. Oscillations of similar periods are also registered in the transition region and…

Waves and oscillations are important solar phenomena, not only because they can propagate and dissipate energy in the chromosphere, but also because they carry information about the structure of the atmosphere in which they propagate. The…
