Sunspots and activity complexes.
Abstract
The physics of sunspots is treated, with attention given to observational aspects and to the related theory. The structure and models of sunspot umbras and penumbras are examined from a unified point of view as well as the magnetic-field structure, wave processes, energy transfer, and the corona and chromosphere of sunspots. Analogous phenomena occurring in stars are also analyzed. It is noted that a global-type of organization is another characteristic of solar plasma.
