The penumbra is ideally suited to challenge our understanding of magnetohydrodynamics. The energy transport takes place as magnetoconvection in inclined magnetic fields under the effect of strong radiative cooling at the surface. The relevant processes happen at small spatial scales. In this contribution we describe and elaborate on these small-scale inhomogeneities of a sunspot penumbra. We describe the penumbral properties inferred from imaging, spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric data, and discuss the question of how these observations can be understood in terms of proposed models and theoretical concepts.
Penumbral Microjets (PMJs) are short-lived jets found in the penumbra of sunspots, first observed in wide-band Ca H-line observations as localized brightenings, and are thought to be caused by magnetic reconnection. Earlier work on PMJs has been focu
We describe the disappearance of a sector of sunspot penumbra and its restoring process observed in the preceding sunspot of active region NOAA 12348. The evolution of the magnetic field and the plasma flows support the idea that the penumbra forms d
We present novel evidence for a fine structure observed in the net-circular polarization (NCP) of a sunspot penumbra based on spectropolarimetric measurements utilizing the Zeeman sensitive FeI 630.2 nm line. For the first time we detect a filamentar
Context. The solar chromosphere and the lower transition region is believed to play a crucial role in the heating of the solar corona. Models that describe the chromosphere (and the lower transition region), accounting for its highly dynamic and stru
The fine-structure of magnetic field of a sunspot penumbra in the upper chromosphere is to be explored and compared to that in the photosphere. High spatial resolution spectropolarimetric observations were recorded with the 1.5-meter GREGOR telescope
