Observations of the MglI h line in the umbrae of five sunspots show a spread of a factor of 3 in peak intensity. This range is larger than, and brackets, the range found in a single umbra by Lites and Skumanich (1982).

β¦ Synopsis
The magnetoacoustic modes excited in a thermally conducting polytropic fluid layer in the presence of a vertical magnetic field are examined with a view to classify them with the help of phase diagrams. The possibility of identifying the umbral flashes with overstable magnetoacoustic modes is explored.

Spectra of several strong lines of sunspots have been obtained with the Echelle spectrograph at the Vacuum Tower Telescope, Sacramento Peak Observatory. With a variety of model atmospheres, Ca II H, K, and 28498 line profiles were calculated using a non-LTE line formation procedure. In the present
Direct measurement of intensity and photographic subtractions of simultaneous Doppler filtergrams at Hc~zk0.3 ,~ in a time-lapse sequence of McMath 11482 has shown velocity oscillations in sunspot umbrae. These oscillations exhibit the following characteristics: (a) A characteristic oscillation freq
