The Evershed motion is postulated as a steady, laminar flow of material along a limiting field line which separates the umbral magnetic field from the penumbral. Assuming that the Evershed flow starts from the spot-base with a velocity which is adequate to carry the convective flux at that level, th

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
It is suggested that longitudinal compression waves are propagating parallel to the solar surface from the umbra towards the photosphere. It is shown that the line-absorption coefficient is asymmetrical, when integrated over a wavelength of the compression wave. The effect of the waves on the line p
