A study of torsional sunspot motion

Pintér, Balázs; Burrows, Keiran; Connor, Erin +1 more

A fundamental understanding of the behaviour of sunspots is a powerful tool by which plasma dynamics and magnetism of the solar interior can also be better understood. Here a straightforward method is presented to investigate the temporal evolution of various sunspot features. Our particular aim is to detect rotations and search for oscillations i…
