Diffusion and Decay of Sunspots
Abstract
Sunspots are the most prominent magnetic structures on the solar surface. The evolution of sunspots is a long-standing question in the solar magnetism. A study of the decay of sunspots as well as the formation is necessary to understand the evolutionary history of sunspots. This paper is a short review on new insights into diffusion and decay of sunspots obtained from Hinode observations.
