TitleSelf-consistent formation of sunspot-like magnetic flux concentrations
AuthorsPetri Kaepylae, Maarit Kaepylae
AbstractAn important goal of solar physics is to understand the mechanism of sunspot formation on the photosphere. In our recent high resolution simulations of turbulent magneto-convection, we find that the sunspot-like magnetic flux concentrations form on the surface in a self-consistent manner. I will highlight some details of these simulations and will share some new insights on the possible mechanism involved in formation of such concentrations in simulations.
