Current models of the solar wind must approximate (or ignore) the small-scale dynamics within the solar atmosphere, however these are likely important in shaping the emerging wave-turbulence spectrum and ultimately heating/accelerating the…

The suitability of solar pores as magnetic wave guides has been a key topic of discussion in recent years. Here we present observational evidence of propagating magnetohydrodynamic wave activity in a group of five photospheric solar pores.…

Through their lifetime sunspots undergo a change in their area and shape and, as they decay, they fragment into smaller structures. Here, for the first time we analyze the spatial structure of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) slow body and fast…
