## Abstract We have employed 3D nonβgrey MHD simulations of sunspots to compute theoretical Stokes profiles and compare the levels of circular and linear polarization in the simulations with those observed in a real sunspot. We find that the spatial distribution and average values of these quantiti

Good quality photographs of many regular sunspots were obtained in three spectral regions, with the use of narrow band filters. Isodensity contours were used for measurements of the umbra and penumbra size along different axes of sunspots. A parameter based on the morphology of the whole sunspot was
In this paper the numerical solutions of the Unno-Beckers's equations for the magneto-sensitive line Fe 1 25250.216 are used to demonstrate the importance and role of Faraday rotation in sunspot magnetic fields and to study the influence of this effect on the measurements of the azimuth of the trans
