โœฆ Synopsis

We present a minimum-gradient model to complement a maximum-gradient model (Zwaan, 1974). Both models are compatible with published continuum intensities and within constraints on the temperature gradient; both are adjusted to Tert = 4000K. In order to explain the visual intensities the minimum-gradient model requires an additional 'line-haze' opacity which is only slightly smaller than in the maxlmum-gradient model.

We show that various published models are not compatible with plausible constraints on the temperature gradient.

The sunspot models published so far do not reproduce the observed run of the umbral continuum intensities over the entire spectral range 0.5 < 2 < 4 ~m. Moreover, in several previous models is the temperature gradient smaller than both the adiabatic and the radiative equilibrium gradient. Agreement

A new model for the structure of a sunspot is put forward. The features of the model are (i) the deep inhibition of convection by magnetic fields, (ii) the formation of a 'cool cone' above the region of inhibition of convective transfer by the energy diverted around tiffs region, and (iii) the devel
