| Abstract: | Time series of two-dimensional spectra were taken with the Göttingen 2D spectrometer at the VTT on Tenerife in 1996. They were investigated for Doppler velocities and velocity oscillations in small spots and pores of rapidly evolving sunspot groups. For the present measurements the magnetically insensitive lines Fe i 557.6 nm and Fe i 709.0 nm were selected. Spots with penumbrae exhibit the Evershed effect. Some pores seem to be connected with downflows, but the centres of the downflows are somewhat displaced from their associated pores. The surroundings of the pores show red shifts relative to the whole field of view. The power in the 5-min range is reduced inside the spots and pores as well as in their immediate vicinity. This reduction inside the spots is in agreement with former results. Outside the area of the spot group the 5-min power has a patchy structure with a typical size of 5 arc sec. For periods below 3.3 min, the behaviour of individual spots and pores is different. Some spots show clearly enhanced power for these periods, and it remains high down to the Nyquist period at 1.5 min. The small pores do not show enhanced three-minute oscillations compared with their vicinity. Inside one spot we find a ring of enhanced power in the period range between 8 and 20 min corresponding to the time scales of granular variations. This result could be an indication of a relation between spots and convection, but magneto-accoustic waves are also possible. The same ring exhibits also enhanced power for short periods. |
