The observed inhomogeneity of the intensity and Evershed motions means any model of the penumbra must be essentially inhomogeneous. A simple model is put forward in which the interaction of convection rolls with an initially homogeneous magnetohydrostatic sunspot field causes a concentration of flux

The area ratio of umbra to penumbra (Au/Ap) was investigated for a series of 126 sunspots observed around the maximum of solar activity in 1980. Plotting log (Au) as function of log (Ap) a linear relation is obtained with a slope of 1.10, yielding an average ratio Au/Ap of 0.24 for small spots and o
The mean width and distribution of penumbral filaments of a sunspot have been estimated, using white light photographs obtained with a vacuum, Newtonian type, telescope. Three areas corresponding to the penumbra of a sunspot have been analysed. Data were collected during the solar eclipse of June 19
Simultaneous photoelectric observations of sunspot penumbrae at 5790, 6690, 8760 and 16700~ are presented. No change in penumbral intensity from spot to spot is found in a sample of 11 large sunspots.
