Rapid Penumbral Decay Associated with Flares NOAA 9026 2000/06/06 δ-Spot multi-polar X2.3 flare TRACE White-Light MDI Magnetogram
Intensity Evolution Area 1 & 2 intensity suddenly jumped to higher level penumbral decay Area 3 intensity suddenly dropped to a lower level umbral darkening.
Interpretation ── Magnetic Breakout Model (Antiochos 1999) X2.3 Flare ─ Filament Eruption ─ CME Background is MDI magnetogram Color lines represent magnetic field lines After the flare, field lines open leading to filament eruption and CME. Field lines in peripheral penumbra change from more inclined to more vertical, which is related to penumbral decay and umbral darkening (enhanced magnetic field).
Penumbral Shear Flows along Magnetic Neutral Lines Active Region 10486 on 2003 October 29, X10 Flare 10486
Flow Field Evolution of a Decaying Sunspot Disc Center (DC) Bright penumbral grains and umbral dots move inward. Dark features in the outer part of penumbra move outward.
