Resonant Transmission of Magneto-atmospheric Waves in Sunspot Umbrae
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
We discuss intensity and velocity oscillations which were observed by SOHO in lines of C IV and Ne VIII formed in the EUV plume above a sunspot during a continuous time series of 4.3 hours. Applying a wavelet analysis, we find periods mainly around 3 mHz; the behavior in time is different for the different EUV lines and strongly intermittent, for the velocity oscillations in particular. Moreover, we discuss the observed oscillations within the frame of model calculations for the resonant transmission of magneto-atmospheric waves through realistic models of the sunspot atmosphere. The nonstationary behavior could hint at the appearance of blinkers in the umbral transition region.
