✦ Synopsis

High resolution photographs obtained at the Pic du Midi Observatory show that there are three types of sunspot light bridges according to their morphological structures: the photospheric ones, the penumbral ones and the umbral ones. Consequently there are no specific structures in light bridges; it results that they should not be due to specific physical properties. Properties of the fine structure of a penumbral light bridge are described.

This study is based on photographs taken during the period March 1971 to June 1972. Various morphological features observed are described and their possible role in sunspot evolution discussed. It is pointed out that a light-bridge looks like the re-establishment of photospheric-like conditions.

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

From investigating spectrograms of penumbrae of some sunspots it is concluded that the maximum magnetic field strength occurs in dark filaments and amounts to 1800-1900 G; the intensity of the magnetic field in dark filaments is 100-400 G larger than in the neighbouring bright filaments; the bright
