Are the umbral dots, penumbral grains, and G band bright points formed by the same type of magnetic flux tubes?
Abstract
Today's Solar Physics comes across of different type of fine structures in solar atmosphere including umbral dots and penumbral grains in sunspots, and G-band bright points in quiet Sun. In this report, we present evidence that umbral dots, penumbral grains, and, possibly, G band bright points are related to a common type of features in solar atmosphere magnetic flux tubes.
