The umbral regions of sunspots and pores in the solar photosphere are generally dominated by $3$~mHz oscillations, which are due to $p$-modes penetrating the magnetic region. In these locations, wave power is also significantly reduced with…

Sunspot umbrae show a change in the dominant period of their oscillations from five minutes in the photosphere to three minutes in the chromosphere. In this paper, we explore the two most popular models proposed to explain the three-minute…
