Aims. To understand the morphology of the chromosphere in sunspot umbra. We investigate if the horizontal structures observed in the spectral core of the Ca II H line are ephemeral visuals caused by the shock dynamics of more stable structures, and examine their relationship with observables in the H-alpha line. Methods. Filtergrams in the core of the Ca II H and H-alpha lines as observed with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope are employed. We utilise a technique that creates composite images and tracks the flash propagation horizontally. Results. We find 015 wide horizontal structures, in all of the three target sunspots, for every flash where the seeing was moderate to good. Discrete dark structures are identified that are stable for at least two umbral flashes, as well as systems of structures that live for up to 24 minutes. We find cases of extremely extended structures with similar stability, with one such structure showing an extent of 5. Some of these structures have a correspondence in H-alpha but we were unable to find a one to one correspondence for every occurrence. If the dark streaks are formed at the same heights as umbral flashes then there are systems of structures with strong departures from the vertical for all three analysed sunspots. Conclusions. Long-lived Ca II H filamentary horizontal structures are a common and likely ever-present feature in the umbra of sunspots. If the magnetic field in the chromosphere of the umbra is indeed aligned with the structures, then the present theoretical understanding of the typical umbra needs to be revisited.

Small-scale umbral brightenings (SSUBs), umbral microjets, spikes or short dynamic fibrils (SDFs), and umbral dark fibrils are found in any observation of the chromosphere with sufficient spatial resolution. We study the spatial and spectral co-evolu
tion of SDFs, SSUBs, and umbral flashes in Ca II 8542 spectral profiles. We produce models that generate the spectral profiles for all classes of features using non-LTE radiative transfer with a recent version of the NICOLE inversion code. We find that both bright (SSUBs) and dark (SDFs) structures are described with a continuous feature in the parameter space that is distinct from the surroundings even in pixel-by-pixel
In order to investigate the relation between magnetic structures and the signatures of heating in plage regions, we observed a plage region with the He I 1083.0 nm and Si I 1082.7 nm lines on 2018 October 3 using the integral field unit mode of the G
REGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) installed at the GREGOR telescope. During the GRIS observation, the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) obtained spectra of the ultraviolet Mg II doublet emitted from the same region. In the periphery of the plage region, within the limited field of view seen by GRIS, we find that the Mg II radiative flux increases with the magnetic field in the chromosphere with a factor of proportionality of 2.38 times 10^4 erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} G^{-1}. The positive correlation implies that magnetic flux tubes can be heated by Alfven wave turbulence or by collisions between ions and neutral atoms relating to Alfven waves. Within the plage region itself, the radiative flux was large between patches of strong magnetic field strength in the photosphere, or at the edges of magnetic patches. On the other hand, we do not find any significant spatial correlation between the enhanced radiative flux and the chromospheric magnetic field strength or the electric current. In addition to the Alfven wave turbulence or collisions between ions and neutral atoms relating to Alfven waves, other heating mechanisms related to magnetic field perturbations produced by interactions of magnetic flux tubes could be at work in the plage chromosphere.
We study the velocity field of umbral dots at a resolution of 0.14. Our analysis is based on full Stokes spectropolarimetric measurements of a pore taken with the CRISP instrument at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. We determine the flow velocity at
different heights in the photosphere from a bisector analysis of the Fe I 630 nm lines. In addtion, we use the observed Stokes Q, U, and V profiles to characterize the magnetic properties of these structures. We find that most umbral dots are associated with strong upflows in deep photospheric layers. Some of them also show concentrated patches of downflows at their edges, with sizes of about 0.25, velocities of up to 1000 m/s, and enhanced net circular polarization signals. The downflows evolve rapidly and have lifetimes of only a few minutes. These results appear to validate numerical models of magnetoconvection in the presence of strong magnetic fields.
Data analysis of sunspot oscillation based on 6-hr SDO run of observation showed that low frequency (0.2 < ! < 1 mHz) oscillations are local similar to three and five minute oscillations. The oscillations in the sunspot are concentrated in cells of a
few arcsec, each of which has its own oscillation spectrum. The analysis of two scenario for sunspot oscillations leads to conclusion that local sunspot oscillations occur due to subphotospheric resonator for slow mhd waves. Empirical models of sunspot atmosphere and the theory of slow waves in thin magnetic flux tubes is applied to the modeling of subphotospheric resonator. Spectrum of local oscillations consists of a great number of lines. This kind of spectrum can occur only if the subphospheric resonator is a magnetic tube with a rather weak magnetic field.Magnetic tubes of this sort are umbral dots that appear due to the convective tongues in the monolithic sunspots. The interrelation of local oscillations with umbral dots and wave fronts of traveling waves in sunspots is discussed.
In the present work, we study the periodicities of oscillations in dark fine structures using observations of a network and a semi-active region close to the solar disk center. We simultaneously obtained spatially high resolution time series of white
light images and narrow band images in the H$alpha$ line using the 2D Gottingen spectrometer, which were based on two Fabry-Perot interferometers and mounted in the VTT/Observatorio del Teide/Tenerife. During the observations, the H$alpha$ line was scanned at 18 wavelength positions with steps of 125 mAA. We computed series of Doppler and intensity images by subtraction and addition of the H$alpha$ $pm$ 0.3 AA and $pm$ 0.7 AA pairs, sampling the upper chromosphere and the upper photosphere, respectively. Then we obtained power, coherence and phase difference spectra by performing a wavelet analysis to the Doppler fluctuations. Here, we present comparative results of oscillatory properties of dark fine structures seen in a network and a semi-active region.
