Seismology of Sunspot Atmospheres
Abstract
The present work deals with the theory of oscillations with periods of about 3 min observed in the chromosphere above sunspot umbrae. The model of these oscillations (slow mode magneto-acoustic waves trapped in a chromospheric resonant cavity) provides an independent method of checking empirical models of the chromosphere above sunspots.
