Thermal models of sunspots.
Abstract
We study simple thermal models of sunspots based on the concept of partial inhibition of convection by strong magnetic fields. As in other similar studies (Parker, 1974a; Eschrich and Krause, 1977; Spruit, 1977a), the calculations involve solutions of the heat equation with an appropriate distribution of thermal conductivity.
