Exploiting high-resolution observations made by the Solar Optical Telescope onboard Hinode, we investigate the spatial distribution of power spectral density of oscillatory signal in and around NOAA active region 10935. The G-band data show that in the umbra the oscillatory power is suppressed in all frequency ranges. On the other hand, in Ca II H intensity maps oscillations in the umbra, so-called umbral flashes, are clearly seen with the power peaking around 5.5 mHz. The Ca II H power distribution shows the enhanced elements with the spatial scale of the umbral flashes over most of the umbra but there is a region with suppressed power at the center of the umbra. The origin and property of this node-like feature remain unexplained.

  1. Standing oscillations in a resonant sunspot atmosphere captured by integral field spectroscopy

    astro-ph.SR 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Integral field spectroscopy of Na I D1/D2 lines reveals standing ~5.5 mHz oscillations at a sunspot umbral center indicating resonance-cavity dynamics, with propagating modes and damping at the boundary.
