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

A time sequence of high-resolution sunspot photographs, exposed almost simultaneously in two continuum wavelengths (4680/~ and 6400 ~), was used to study some properties of umbral fine structures ('umbral dots'). The lifetime of the umbral dots is found to be 1500 sec. Photometry of some bright dots
Absolute intensities of emission lines in the wavelength range from 1200 A to 1817 A from the large sunspot in McMath region 12510 near Sun center are presented. The intensities are averaged across the umbra and penumbra of the sunspot. The observations were made with the NRL slit spectrograph on Sk
