It is shown that the internal structure of sunspots is affected only to a small degree by the presence of the azimuthal component of the sunspot magnetic field. The magnetostatic theory of sunspots developed by Schltiter and Temesvary (1958) is extended to include such an effect. In the present stud

β¦ Synopsis
The return-flux sunspot model is generalized by including azimuthal magnetic field B e . The basic equation is obtained and numerical solutions are compared with the analogous solutions for the Schl~iter-Temesvary sunspot theory for two cases: B e ~ B r and B e ~ rB r. The solutions demonstrate that the twisting of the sunspot magnetic field decreases with height. Our models confirm Yun's early statement: the azimuthal field only slightly influences sunspot structure.

The potential models of the unipolar sunspot magnetic field are calculated on the basis of magnetographic measurements of the magnetic field made in the three spectral lines of different intensities, H c~, Ca 1 26103 and Fe 1 2 4808. The computed distributions of the magnetic field vector are compar
The magnetic field configurauon for an isolated, nearly circular sunspot has been obtained from measurements at some 100 points in the spot. The observations are compared with theoretical models for the field configuration of an isolated, axially-symmetric sunspot. The results support the Sehltiter,
Observations of a round, unipolar sunspot in the Zeeman triplet Fe I A6302.5 with the High Altitude Observatory Stokes Polarimeter are used to derive the vector magnetic field in the spot. The behavior of the magnitude, inclination, and azimuth of the field vector B across the spot is discussed. A l
