Bibcode: 2013CEAB...37..397V Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Synoptic observations with the Coimbra spectroheliograph Authors: Garcia, A.; Sobotka, M.; Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2011CoSka..41...69G Altcode: Spectroheliograms in the Astronomical Observatory of the Coimbra University (Portugal) have been photographed in the spectral line of Ca II K continuously since 1926 and, since 1989, spectroheliograms in Hα have been photographed as well. Since 2007, all the spectroheliograms have been recorded using a CCD camera. Until July 2010, about 34 000 observations in total were acquired in the spectral bands Ca II K3, Ca II K1, Hα, red continuum, and Hα Dopplergrams (since 2009), covering a period of 85 years (Ca II K3 line). We describe the characteristics of the photographic and digital spectroheliograms, the statistics of the observations, and the utilization of Coimbra spectroheliograms by the solar community. Title: Co ovlivňuje prùběh jedenáctiletého cyklu sluneční aktivity Title: Co ovlivňuje prùběh jedenáctiletého cyklu sluneční aktivity Title: What affects the evolution of the eleven-year cycle of solar activity. Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M. Bibcode: 2010nspm.conf...64B Altcode: In search for physical causes of the irregularities observed in the solar activity and magnetic field distributions across the Sun and in time we have this time focused on the study of the evolution of the last nineteen cycles (from No.5 to No.23). The cycles can be divided into a few types according to similariry in their time evolution. It turns out that for cycles of similar type we find similar distributions in space for planets like Venus and Earth, and Jupiter in particular, with Saturn also taking a certain part. In addition, the onset of activity of all cycles seems to be closely related to a certain position of Venus and Earth in the ecliptic. During the maximum phase of all cycles the relative angular separation of Venus with the Earth and Jupiter takes its minimal values (close to zero) while during every minimum phase it is close to 45°. As far as physics is concerned it seems so far that the key role is played by gravity although other forces and their fields can also assume certain roles. Title: Spectroheliograms recorded using the new CCD camera in the OAUC, Coimbra, Portugal Authors: Garcia, A.; Klvaňa, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2010nspm.conf..206G Altcode: Spectroheliograms in the OAUC (Coimbra, Portugal) have been photographed in the spectral line of Ca II continuously since 1926, and since 1990 spectroheliograms in H-alpha have been photographed as well. Since 2007, all the spectroheliograms are recorded using new CCD camera. Specifications of the camera, including the new optical scheme of the spectrograph, were presented in a previous paper (Klvana et al., 2006). On the data recorded in 2010 we demonstrate the good quality of spectroheliograms taken during standard observing conditions, influence of the clouds and the effects introduced by filtering. Title: Dynamics of Active Regions Revealed by Tracking of Doppler Features Authors: Švanda, M.; Sobotka, M.; Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2010ASSP...19..410S Altcode: 2010mcia.conf..410S We investigate the large-scale horizontal dynamics of active regions in the 23rd solar cycle. The large-scale horizontal velocity fields were measured applying the local correlation tracking (LCT) algorithm to the processed high-cadence full-resolution full-disc MDI Dopplergrams. We performed the selection of NOAA active regions in the available dataset and followed their individual evolution in time. The statistical study of this sample gives us a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of active regions at various stages of their evolution. In few cases, we found behavior that is consistent with the dynamical disconnection of sunspots from the magnetic roots. Title: Large-scale horizontal flows in the solar photosphere. II. Long-term behaviour and magnetic activity response Authors: Švanda, M.; Klvaňa, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2008A&A...477..285S Altcode: 2007arXiv0710.2693S We have developed a method to map large-scale horizontal velocity fields in the solar photosphere. The method was developed, tuned, and calibrated using synthetic data. Now, we apply the method to the series of Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) Dopplergrams covering almost one solar cycle to generate the information about the long-term behaviour of surface flows. Our method clearly reproduces the widely accepted properties of mean flow field components, such as torsional oscillations and a pattern of meridional circulation. We also performed a period analysis, however due to the data series length and large gaps we did not detect any significant periods. The relation between the magnetic activity and the mean zonal motion is studied. We found evidence that the emergence of compact magnetic regions locally accelerates the rotation of the supergranular pattern in their vicinity and that the presence of magnetic fields generally decelerates the rotation in the equatorial region. Our results show that active regions in the equatorial region emerge, exhibiting a constant velocity (faster by 60 ± 9 m s-1 than the Carrington rate), suggesting that they emerge from the base of the surface radial shear at 0.95 R_⊙, disconnect from their magnetic roots, and slow down during their evolution. Title: The Modernized Spectroheliograph at Coimbra Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2007ASPC..368..549K Altcode: Application of CCD chips in astronomical instruments constructed for the registration of measured data on a photographic emulsion brings some special issues. The problems increase, if we need to digitize the whole solar disk. The spectroheliograph of the Coimbra university has been constructed for registration of the full-disk spectroheliograms on a photographic emulsion. Its construction is mechanically highly precise. Among others, it perfectly compensates the spectral line curvature in such a way that the resulting monochromatic solar disk is without any deformation. The compensation requires an adjustment of the entrance and exit slits, which are both curved.

The fact that during the transition from the photographic to the CCD registration it was necessary to preserve the original function of data registration on a photographic emulsion brings a whole number of specific problems. It was necessary to change the parameters of the optical system, to remove brightness and shape deformations of the solar disk, originating from the recording medium change. In this paper we analyze the mentioned issues and we describe how to treat them. We also present alternative spectroheliograph usages, for example for measuring Doppler velocities. Title: Regularities in the Distribution of Solar Magnetic Fields Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A. Bibcode: 2007ASPC..368..511B Altcode: We examined the distribution and concentration of the solar magnetic fields from the Wilcox observatory synoptic charts for the whole period of their existence (May 1976 -- February 2006). We divided them into four latitudinal zones, studying the changes of their various structures, density, etc. These sets of maps demonstrate striking regularities in the photospheric magnetic field distribution with time, continuous existence of characteristic longitudes of magnetic field concentration and their longitudinal shift with three main rotational periods of 26.8, 28.2, and 27.14 days. They show formation of specific structures of background weaker fields, connected with the development of activity complexes, polarity alternation, etc. We mention the possible sources of found regularities in the solar activity modulation. Title: Doppler Velocity Fields in Magnetic Structures and their Surroundings Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Švanda, M. Bibcode: 2006CEAB...30...21K Altcode: We demonstrate the effect of a velocity shift of photospheric velocity fields in regions filled by magnetic field compared to the velocity fields of non-magnetic regions surrounding them. We analyse this effect on five different types of measurements in the active region NOAA 8086 obtained by SOLMAG (Ondřejov magnetograph) in four spectral lines on September 18, 1997. The mean value of the Doppler velocity field in regions filled by magnetic field shows a red-shift of 40--190 m s-1 with respect to the neighbouring non-magnetic regions. Title: Temporal Changes of the Photospheric Velocity Fields Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Švanda, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2005HvaOB..29...89K Altcode: We analyse the influence of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Jupiter on the Doppler velocity field in the solar photosphere, using the theory of tidal forces. We compare the measured Doppler velocity fields estimated in a zonal area along the solar equator with the results of the dynamical calculations. From this comparison it follows that we do not succeed to demonstrate the presence of a velocity field, caused by the tidal forces, in the measured data. If tidal waves in the solar photosphere do exist, they are lost in the noise and their horizontal velocity field probably will be under the limit of ±20 m s^{-1}. Title: Do tidal waves exist in the solar photosphere? Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Švanda, M.; Krivtsov, A.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2004HvaOB..28..157K Altcode: The temporal coincidences between solar activity regularities and the motion of some planets show that there could exist a mutual physical relationship between both processes. One of the possible causal agents could be the action of the gravitational field. Although the altitude of planetary tidal waves on the Sun, following many authors, is of the order of only one millimetre, in the case of resonance it could be enlarged appreciably. Therefore, we decided to verify the possibility of detection of such waves in the solar atmosphere using the earlier developed dynamical theory of tidal waves. In this paper we present and discuss the preliminary results, obtained from the comparison of the velocity fields measured with the MDI instrument of the SOHO satellite and of the velocity fields of a tidal wave calculated on the basis of the dynamical theory. Title: Photospheric background Doppler velocity field during the development of active regions Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A. Bibcode: 2003ESASP.535...71B Altcode: 2003iscs.symp...71B We investigate changes of the photospheric background Doppler velocity field, measured by a scanning photoelectric magnetograph during the development of several active regions. Our results demonstrate that the whole local system of an active region's magnetic and motion field represents some kind of disturbance of the semiregular motion patterns of the quiet photosphere which seem to have their physical background in the local strengthening of convection and the local concentration of the magnetic field. In such a local Doppler motion system, the positive (blue-shifted) Doppler motion elements are considerably diluted (with the exception of Evershed's positive motion areas and the active region's surroundings), while the negative (red-shifted) elements are strongly concentrated, parallel with the distribution of the local magnetic field. At the same time, they are cellularly organized. The circulation below an active region and its surroundings forms a complicated system of mutually related motions bound together by the magnetic field. Title: Photosphere velocity field generated by tidal forces Authors: Krivtsov, A. M.; Klvana, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2003ESASP.535..121K Altcode: 2003iscs.symp..121K However, our recent research shows correlation between the planets disposition and the solar activity. Analysis of the astronomical data invents the question about influence of the planetary-induced tides on the number and distribution of the active regions on the solar surface. In the presented work we are considering dynamical deformation of the solar sphere induced by the action of the planetary system. Influence of the tidal deformations on the photospherical velocity fields and their interaction with the active regions in the photosphere are studied. Title: Cyclic changes of the solar global and local magnetic fields patterns Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2003ESASP.535....3B Altcode: 2003iscs.symp....3B Grouping tendency in the magnetic flux emergence in the solar photosphere; single local magnetic fields and complexes of activity. Relation of the local and background large-scale magnetic fields (global fields), dynamics of their evolution. Longitudinal distribution and sector structure in the solar magnetic fields.

Regularities in the solar activity appearance. Local and global magnetic fields during different phases of the solar activity cycle, and variations in their longitudinal and latitudinal distribution with time. Characteristics of such changes, quasi-biennial oscillations, shorter-term periodicities in magnetic flux formation and solar rotation rate variations. Reflection of the solar magnetic field cyclic and short-term changes in the corona, in the heliospheric magnetic field distribution and in the variation of the solar wind characteristics. Title: Dynamics of motions in the quiet photosphere Authors: Svanda, M.; Klvana, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2003ESASP.535..149S Altcode: 2003iscs.symp..149S We determine the vector velocity fields describing the plasma motions in the quiet solar photosphere, using the motions of the supergranular structures, obtained by the analysis of series of Doppler measurements of velocity fields of the whole solar disk. It turned out that the studied vector velocity fields can be submerged under the noise level, originating due to the strong variability of the supergranular structures during their life time. We describe the method we used for the suppressing of such noise, and we bring the criterions used by the election of free parameters. We demonstrate examples of obtained vector velocity fields and of the resulting motions of matter on the visible photospheric surface. We discuss different factors influencing the reproductivness of obtained results. We construct a graph of the dependence of the differential rotation on the heliographic latitude from the mean vector velocity field, we got for the solar disk without expressive magnetic fields. Title: A CCD-based guiding and control system for solar telescopes Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Sobotka, M. Bibcode: 2003AN....324..305K Altcode: We describe a system for guiding and control of motion of solar telescopes based on a determination of the position of the full solar disk on a CCD chip. The system computes the position of the disk center and, according to the difference between the instantaneous and required positions, it controls the motion of the telescope to compensate the deviation. The instantaneous position of the disk center is the basic input for the telescope's guiding and coordinate system. Brightness inhomogeneities of the solar limb caused by clouds are checked in real time. The function of the system can be suspended automatically if the clouds degrade the accuracy of guiding. The system also makes possible to check the correct focus and to evaluate the image quality. Title: System of coordinates for solar telescopes Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Sobotka, M. Bibcode: 2003HvaOB..27..205K Altcode: A system of coordinates for a solar telescope, based on the principle of the CCD detection of the whole solar disk position, is described. The system evaluates the position of the solar disk center and from this position it calculates the coordinates of a point situated on the optical axis of the telescope. The method of cloudiness testing, as well as results of tests made, and algorithms for the coordinate calculation in six coordinate systems are demonstrated. The function of the system can be suspended automatically if the clouds would degrade the accuracy of guiding. Title: Short-term solar activity regularities Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Garcia, A. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.506..837B Altcode: 2002svco.conf..837B; 2002ESPM...10..837B We study the regularities in the development of solar activity in the course of four cycles with the smallest activity (Nos. 13-16). On the daily sums of sunspot areas we investigate the frequency of occurrence and time intervals between the impulses of solar activity, and their clusters, recalling packages of coupled waves. We also study the real situation in activity on the solar surface. Most striking is the repetition, after many years, of long-lasting segments of daily area curves with the same time sequence and amplitude distribution of activity peaks, and their packages. The lengths of the time intervals between the peaks and minima of activity are clustered around several discrete values. The same regularities yield the correlation of the most characteristic packages of impulses with similarly formed features of the whole cycle. Searching for the reasons of the found regularities, we found certain indication of relation betwen the longitudinal distribution of solar activity and conjunctions of the first three planets of the solar system. Title: Semi-empirical modelling of sunspots magnetic fields on the basis of radio astronomical and magnetographic observations Authors: Kaltman, T. I.; Klvana, M.; Korzhavin, A. N.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.505..433K Altcode: 2002IAUCo.188..433K; 2002solm.conf..433K A semi-empirical method to model spatial configurations of sunspot magnetic fields is presented and discussed. To calculate the strength and diversity of the magnetic fields in the chromosphere-corona transition region (CCTR), radio astronomy and magnetographic observations are used. Multifrequency radio observations with RATAN-600 allow to measure magnetic fields above sunspots using a method described in (Akhmedov, et al. 1982). Our model calculations confirm that the measured value is the maximum magnetic field of the sunspot at the height of the CCTR. Two-dimensional maps of the longitudinal component of sunspot magnetic fields at the photospheric level produced with Ondrejov magnetograph (Czech Republic) along with the magnetic field strength measured in the corona with RATAN-600 are used for calculations of the strength and diversity of the magnetic field and for the estimate of the height of the CCTR above sunspots. Title: The depths of sunspot magnetic field sources calculated on the basis of magnetographic measurements in two spectral lines Authors: Klvana, M.; Kaltman, T. I.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.505..449K Altcode: 2002IAUCo.188..449K; 2002solm.conf..449K We present a method of determining the depth of the source of the magnetic field beneath a sunspot, based on semiempirical modelling and the use of a dipole model's magnetic field space configuration. The dipole approximation is applied to the longitudinal component of the magnetic field measured in spectral lines Fe I 5253.47 Å and Mg I 5172.7 Å, formed at different heights of the solar atmosphere. We give the depths of magnetic field sources for several sunspots from active regions NOAA 9503, 9504, 9505 and 9506 observed on 21 June 2001, and comment on the results obtained. Title: Sunspot's magnetic and velocity field within the convective network Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Garcia, A. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.505..365B Altcode: 2002solm.conf..365B; 2002IAUCo.188..365B From 81 sets of photoelectric measurements of the line-of-sight velocity component in the Evershed effect of a regular sunspot, made during 8 days with electronically enhanced sensitivity, we have estimated the main characteristics of the Evershed flow in the measured spot: the motion in the center of the spot is probably slightly upwards, it is then almost horizontal and finally, in its peripheral part, it is possibly slightly inclined below the solar surface. We draw attention to the existence of regular secondary structures of the Evershed effect, surrounding the primary effect and to the mutual unity of their motions. Together they form one physical entity, which fits the structure of the motion field of the surrounding magnetised photosphere well. But the whole active region's motion field represents the same kind of disturbance of the semiregular motion patterns of the quiet photosphere, in which the positive Doppler motion elements are considerably diluted and the negative elements strongly concentrated and organised. We also demonstrate the relationship of the distribution of the active region's magnetic and negative velocity fields with the emission patterns of the K3 Ca II and of the positive motion elements with the dark interiors of the same K3 Ca II supergranules. Title: Impulses of solar activity Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Garcia, Adriana Bibcode: 2002ESASP.477...83B Altcode: 2002scsw.conf...83B We study the development of complexes of activity during the course of four cycles with the smallest activity (Nos. 13 - 16) for which we have the daily sums of sunspot areas, separately for the northern and southern hemisphere. The solar activity is characterized by isolated, suddenly appearing increases often regularly repeated in one, or simultaneously in both hemispheres. We refer to such sudden increases as "impulses of solar activity", which we can observe throughout the whole activity cycle, but best during periods of lower activity. We discuss the main characteristics of these impulses: the occurrence frequency, number, duration, etc. We draw attention to some regularities in their repetition Title: Rotation of the vector velocity field in a symmetric sunspot Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2002ESASP.477..135K Altcode: 2002scsw.conf..135K Vector velocity fields of some sunspots demonstrate anomalous effects. We describe briefly the method of vector velocity field computation from the measured Doppler velocities. We bring some examples of such anomalous velocity effects observed in the lines Fe I-5253.47 and Mg I-5172.7 Å. The spatial structure of the observed phenomenon resembles a whirlpool effect. Title: Reconstruction of the Telescopes HSFA1 and HSFA2 Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Sobotka, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 2001AGM....18S1002K Altcode: At present, two large horizontal solar telescopes with spectrographs, located at the Ondřejov Observatory, are undergoing an important reconstruction. The original designation of these two identical instruments will mostly be preserved. The telescope/spectrograph HSFA1 will continue to be used for the measurement of solar magnetic and velocity fields, while HSFA2 is in the process of rebuilding to a multichannel spectrograph equipped with CCD cameras. The reconstruction of the electronic control systems of both telescopes is the most important item. The up-to-date electronic equipment will enable a remote control of all functions of the instruments, will offer a large amount of automated procedures and should be resistent to the disturbances caused by atmospheric electricity. The whole telescope/spectrograph control system is designed to reduce and simplify the observer's work as much as possible. In this contribution we describe the characteristics of both reconstructed instruments and the basics of their control.

Title: The Role of the Magnetic Field in the Ascension of the 22nd and 23rd Cycles of Activity Authors: Bumba, V.; Garcia, A.; Klvaňa, M. Bibcode: 2000SoPh..197..175B Altcode: The first small active regions of the last two new cycles seem to be formed, in its very first, preparatory stage, close to the equator with uncertain magnetic orientation, and as secondary products at the periphery of equatorial `magnetic bubbles' of the new magnetic flux still belonging to the old cycle. At the real beginning of the new cycle, at the periphery of its higher-latitude `magnetic bubbles', the opposite applies to the secondary regions of the ending cycle. It seems that two modes of magnetic flux supply the visible layers of the photosphere during the cycle transition phase: the emergence of the magnetic flux from the depth of the convective zone, and the mutual interaction of the earlier emerging fluxes, or the action of the `local dynamo', giving rise to the new local magnetic field concentrations. Title: Longitudinal Distribution of Solar Magnetic Fields and Activity During the Ending and Starting Periods of Activity Cycles Authors: Bumba, V.; Garcia, A.; Klvaňa, M. Bibcode: 2000SoPh..196..403B Altcode: Studying the appearance of active regions during periods of solar activity minima, we observed that the magnetic fields of active regions belonging to the old and new cycle were mutually related. This was the reason we decided to investigate the relation of the old and new cycle activity during the two last minima in more detail. We examined the distribution of both activities in heliographic longitude, because the patterns of such distribution change substantially during the time of the minimum, and we studied their relation to the distribution and development of the global (background) magnetic field. We observed that the active regions of the old and new cycles tended to concentrate in the same active longitudes. The sources of their magnetic fluxes seem to have the same heliographic longitude. The beginning of the new cycle activity, occurring at the very beginning to a very weak degree in the equatorial zone, and then proceeding to higher latitudes, occurs in the magnetic field remnants of the old cycle activity. During the transition phase, a relatively large number of small active regions is produced by both cycles. Title: Complexes of Activity - Basic Components of Activity Cycles (from the Bottom of the Convective Zone till the Interplanetary Space) Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.

Bibcode: 2000HvaOB..24...97K Altcode: In most cases, the photoelectric measurements of magnetic fields in sunspots with penumbrae demonstrate a classical, more or less homogeneous distribution of the magnetic and velocity fields. But there exist some interesting cases of anomalous effects, when in the area of a sunspot, both the magnetic, and velocity field become very complicated, and intricated magnetic and velocity structures, accompanied often by large gradients develop. On the basis of our experience with modelling vector fields in symmetrical sunspots (Klvana et al., 1998), we specify the regular and anomalous behavior of the measured longitudinal components of magnetic and velocity field vectors; from this we judge on the vector configuration of both fields. We demonstrate and analyse such anomalous effects on the leading spot of the active region NOAA 7981, measured in the spectral lines FeI 525.347 nm and MgI 517.27 nm. In the spectral continuum the spot appears to be more or less symmetric. Title: Photospheric Velocity Vector Fields in Irregular Sunspots Authors: Klvana, M.; Krivtsov, A.; Bumba, V.

M.; Hofmann, A.; Staude, J.; Klvaña, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1999ASPC..184..108K Altcode: A new method to determine the distribution of the full velocity vector in an asymmetric sunspot is presented. Measurements of the Doppler velocity and of the vector of the magnetic field are used as initial data for these calculations. The determination is subdivided into two stages: in a first step we obtain the distribution of the velocity projection onto the solar surface, and in the second step the orthogonal component of the velocity field is calculated. The resulting vector velocity field is in good agreement with the basic features of the siphon flow model of penumbral flux tubes. Title: Medium Scale Photospheric Motion Fields Authors: Klvana, M.; Bumba, V.; Krivtsov, A. Bibcode: 1999ASSL..239..205K Altcode: 1999msa..proc..205K Analyzing the Doppler velocity measurements of the photospheric motion fields we conclude that the vertical component of the velocity vector in the quiet photosphere cannot be neglected. Title: Photospheric line-of-sight velocity field under quiet Hα filaments. Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Rompolt, B.; Rudawy, P. Bibcode: 1999joso.proc..190B Altcode: The authors present some preliminary results concerning the positional correlation of four active region Hα filaments in their quiet phase with the photospheric line-of-sight velocity field lying beneath them, measured with a scanning photoelectric magnetograph. Title: Photoelectrically measured Doppler motions in regular spots. Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M. Bibcode: 1999joso.proc..109B Altcode: From many sets of photoelectric measurements of the line-of-sight velocity component in the Evershed effect of several regular sunspots, made with electronically enhanced sensitivity, the authors estimate the main characteristics of the Evershed flow in the measured spots. These results generally agree with the results of recent spectrographic studies. The authors also observe the changes with time of the velocity amplitudes and shapes of motion areas in the Evershed effect connected with five-minute and longer oscillations. They also mention some deviations of the Evershed flow from the generally accepted figure. They demonstrate the existence of regular secondary structures of the Evershed effect, surrounding the primary effect, which fits the structure of the motion field of the surrounding photosphere well. The authors take this as a demonstration of the close relation of the Evershed flow with the background photospheric Doppler motion network, reflecting convection as the physical background of the existence of the Evershed effect, but influenced by a strong magnetic field. Title: Velocity structures in the quiet solar photosphere. Authors: Klvaňa, M.; Bumba, V.; Krivtsov, A. Bibcode: 1999joso.proc..193K Altcode: The authors have used a special method of measurement to separate the five-minute oscillations and the photospheric background velocity fields. In the present note they analyze both types of velocity structures in dependence on their distance from the solar disk center. It follows from their analysis that the vector velocity fields of the five-minute oscillations have an omnidirectional character, i.e. both the vertical and the horizontal components are equally engaged, whereas, in the background velocity fields, the horizontal component of the velocity vector seems to dominate conspicuously over the vertical component. Title: Determination of the full velocity vector based on vector magnetograph measurements in an asymmetric sunspot Authors: Krivtsov, A. M.; Hofmann, A.; Staude, J.; Klvana, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1998A&A...335.1077K Altcode: A new method to determine the distribution of the full velocity vector in an asymmetric sunspot is presented. Measurements of the Doppler velocity and of the vector of the magnetic field are used as initial data for these calculations. The determination is subdivided into two stages: in a first step we obtain the distribution of the velocity projection onto the solar surface, and in the second step the orthogonal component of the velocity field is calculated. The method has been applied to a sunspot observed from two observatories over 7 days, that is at different positions on the solar disk and in different phases of its development. The resulting vector velocity field is in good agreement with the basic features of the siphon flow model of penumbral flux tubes. The velocities are directed outwards from the sunspot, and they have small values in the umbra and maximum values in the central part of the penumbra, while in the outer penumbra the velocities decrease rapidly. The vertical velocities are mainly localized at the umbral boundary (upflows) and at the outer parts of the penumbra (downflows).

Bibcode: 1998A&A...329.1138B Altcode: In a companion paper, we show that the large limb flare and coronal mass ejection of July 9, 1982, and other energetic events that followed through September 4, 1982, represent the final phase in the evolution of a large active-region complex (Jordan et al. 1997). In this paper, we review the long-duration evolution of this complex. We begin by showing that, before its final phase, new activity in the form of renewed flux continued to appear for nearly two years, progressively complicating the field topology. Observations suggest that the source of this flux rotated almost as a rigid body. Evidence is presented that, during the final phase of large-scale eruptions, either the connection with the underlying source of flux is broken, or the source itself has changed. After the flare and CME of September 4, 1982, the magnetic field topology of the entire complex was greatly simplified, and the area of former activity was replaced by a large coronal hole. We conclude that this evolution and destruction of a large long-duration active-region complex is a characteristic feature of how the global magnetic field of the Sun changes during the solar cycle.

Bibcode: 1997SSRv...82..469B Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Interpreting the Large Limb Eruption of July 9, 1982 Authors: Jordan, Stuart; Garcia, Adriana; Bumba, Vaclav Bibcode: 1997SoPh..173..359J Altcode: A time series of K3 spectroheliograms taken at the Coimbra Observatory exhibits an erupting loop on the east limb on July 9, 1982 in active region NOAA 3804. The Goddard SMM Hard X-Ray Burst Spectrometer (HXRBS) observations taken during this period reveal a hard X-ray flare occurring just before the loop eruption is observed, and SMS-GOES soft X-ray observations reveal a strong long-duration event (LDE) following the impulsive phase of the flare. A Solwind coronagram exhibits a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the erupting loop. Hα flare and prominence observations as well as centimeter and decimeter radio observations of the event are also reviewed. A large, north-south-oriented quiescent prominence reported within the upper part of the CME expansion region may play a role in the eruption as well. The spatial and temporal correlations among these observations are examined in the light of two different current models for prominence eruption and CME activation: (1) The CME is triggered by the observed hard X-ray impulsive flare. (2) The CME is not triggered by a flare, and the observed soft X-ray flare is an LDE due to reconnection within the CME `bubble'. It is concluded that this event is probably of a `mixed' type that combines characteristics of models (1) and (2). The July 9 event is then compared to three other energetic CME and flare eruptions associated with the same active-region complex, all occurring in the period July 9 through September 4, 1982. It is noted that these four energetic events coincide with the final evolutionary phase of a long-lasting active-region complex, which is discussed in a companion paper (Bumba, Garcia, and Jordan, 1997). The paper concludes by addressing `the solar flare myth' controversy in the light of this work. Title: Why does the radio activity accompanying the flares in the two large active regions of June 1982 differ so much? Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M. Bibcode: 1997SoPh..173..111B Altcode: An attempt is presented to explain the large difference in the intensity, frequency range and number of radio-activity events following the large flares in the two complex active regions of June 1982 (NOAA 3763 and NOAA 3776). The topology of their local magnetic fields in relation to the global solar field is discussed as one of the main factors causing this effect. The development of a specific, magnetically bipolar `super-region' is described. Title: Use of the Video-Technique for Observations with a Double Solar Telescope Authors: Klvana, M.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1997HvaOB..21..109K Altcode: Since several years, the staff of the solar department at the Ondrejov Observatory monitors the solar activity with the aid of a video-system developed for the registration and digitization of the solar image. The system fulfils our requirements for the registration and evaluation of solar images of a medium resolution and is not very expensive. It is also suitable for the digitization of the earlier obtained motion-picture materials. We describe the system, discuss its specific behaviour and our accumulated experience. Title: Local Solar Magnetic and Velocity Field Development and Related Photospheric and Chromospheric Activity Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1996SoPh..169..303B Altcode: We have compiled the results of our long-term studies of the local magnetic field and its activity development, derived from investigating sunspot group evolution, photoelectrically measured longitudinal magnetic and velocity fields, and measurements of sunspot proper motions. We estimate certain regularities according to which the magnetic and velocity fields, and photospheric, as well as chromospheric activities develop. We speculate about the physical background of such processes. Title: Doppler and proper motions accompanying formation of an additional magnetic flux in the mature solar active region (NOAA 7216). Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Kalman, B. Bibcode: 1996A&AS..118...35B Altcode: We document the evolution of an additional magnetic flux in the photosphere of a fully developed sunspot group, we measure longitudinal magnetic field, line-of-sight motions, and proper motions of sunspots in the group during this process. We demonstrate the close correlation of magnetic field, Doppler and proper motion singularities with the area in which additional magnetic flux appears and the new penumbrae and umbrae develop. We discuss the probable reasons for this fact and for the region's weak flare activity. There exist in the group about eight sunspots with the Evershed effect, differing in form, in dependence on the history of development of the spot in which it is observed. Title: The 1991 southern hemisphere complex of activity. Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Kalman, B.; Garcia, A. Bibcode: 1996A&AS..117..291B Altcode: We have investigated the development of a complex of activity which took place in the southern hemisphere of the Sun between July 1991 and April 1992. The whole process culminated with the successive formation of two large active regions with sunspot groups NOAA 6850 (September/October) and NOAA 6891 (October/November 1991), both having complicated magnetic fields, but the former without heavy flare activity. We observed the appearance of the individual active regions as the consequence of the development stage of large-scale magnetic fields in the given area of the solar surface, in connection with their longitudinal and latitudinal distribution. We have studied the dynamics of this development on magnetic synoptic charts, as well as on spectroheliograms taken in the K-line of ionized calcium. Our new observations confirm the regularities found earlier and connection of global and local developments with convection. We think that they could become a tool for solar activity prediction and that they could be used for comparative studies of stellar complexes of activity. Title: Book reviews Authors: Humphreys, R.

D.; Garcia, A.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1996AAS...188.7009J Altcode: 1996BAAS...28..939J An erupting prominence was observed on the East solar limb on July 9, 1982 in a series of K3 spectroheliograms taken at the Solar Observatory in Coimbra. Events associated with this eruption were observed with the Hard X-ray Burst Spectrometer (HXRBS) on SMM and a number of other instruments on the ground and in space including the Solwind satellite, which observed an energetic coronal mass ejection (CME) during the same time-frame. An impulsive flare occurred about one hour before the rise-time of the soft X-ray long duration event (LDE) and the apparent rise-time of the CME. This extensive set of observations permitted a comparison of this complex flare-erupting prominence-CME-LDE with a model proposed by Hundhausen (1994, 'Coronal Mass Ejections,' in "The Many Faces of the Sun," Springer-Verlag). Both similarities and differences are noted. While the start of the CME almost certainly follows the impulsive flare, it cannot be concluded that the flare is the 'cause' of the CME. The importance of determining the relative rise- times for the CME and the LDE is underscored by this study. Two other energetic events from the same active region are also discussed. It is concluded that no one model for the phenomenon: flare-erupting prominence-CME-LDE is satisfactory, even for these three events.

We bring arguments for the validity of the results of our photoelectric Doppler velocity recordings. We have found a network of cellularly shaped patterns in the distribution of photo-electrically measured line-of-sight motions, upflowing in the magnetically quiet (blue-shifted) and downflowing in magnetically active (red-shifted) areas of the photosphere, if the mean velocity level is estimated for a sufficiently large measured area. The features of both directions are mutually complementary. We demonstrate the effect of the shift of the reference zero velocity level on the topology of the line-of-sight velocity maps, and the dependence of this level on the size of the area from which it is estimated. Title: Coronal holes and their relation to the background and local magnetic fields. Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Sykora, J. Bibcode: 1995A&A...298..923B Altcode: We correlate the evolution of coronal holes with the development of the large-scale distribution of solar magnetic fields during the years 1991 and 1992. We see strong ties between the formation of coronal holes and the latest stages of evolution of complexes of activity, closely related to the regularities in the longitudinal distribution of solar magnetic fields. We also deduce that the evolution of a coronal hole is a global process, depending on the contemporary general stage of solar activity, in which the equatorial and polar holes are strongly bound together. We estimate the interrelations of coronal holes and their magnetic fields with magnetic fields of associated active regions, and also measure the values of the longitudinal magnetic flux. We have found a close relation of coronal holes to older active regions which results in the influence of the intensity and topology of the active region's magnetic field on the resulting configuration of the lines of force of the coronal hole's magnetic field, extending into interplanetary space. Title: NOAA 6850: an inactive delta-configuration and its magnetic and velocity fields. Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Kalman, B. Bibcode: 1995A&AS..109..355B Altcode: We present the results of a detailed study of evolution of photospheric features, longitudinal magnetic and velocity fields and proper motions of sunspots in one complex (NOAA 6850) and one simple (NOAA 6853) active region of September/October 1991, being part of a long-lasting complex of activity. We bring evidence of the changes of all the studied quantities with the sudden renewal and then subsequent weakening of magnetic activity in the larger group. We discuss the reasons why the complex delta-configuration group did not produced larger flares, assuming that the observed phase of the complex's development represented only a preparatory stage, which matured during the next disk passage. We underline the physical importance of the coincidence of magnetic field, line-of-sight and proper motion singularities with regions of the fastest changes of penumbral and umbral structures. Title: Solar Zonal Average Magnetic Field and the Latitudes of Sunspot Groups Authors: Bumba, V.; Garcia, A. Bibcode: 1994SoPh..155..257B Altcode: Positions of active regions estimated from observations of the whole solar disk in CaIIKIV during the period 1977-1989 at the Coimbra Astronomical Observatory are compared with the time-dependent latitudinal distribution of background solar magnetic fields and with the latitudinal shifts of boundaries of their polarities. We confirm that the sunspot groups are located near the zonal boundaries between the opposite polarities of the solar background magnetic field during different phases of the two recent consecutive cycles of activity. We demonstrate a probable connection between the increased number of groups and the commencement of poleward migration of zonal boundaries in both hemispheres. But the influence of the `dominant convective rolls' seems to he still unclear. A new problem of interrelation between the zonal and sector boundaries has also appeared. Title: Concerning the Solar Rotation Rates Estimated Using Tracers Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.

Bibcode: 1993A&A...276..193B Altcode: On the basis of abundant observational data we have studied photo spheric evolution, changes in the longitudinal magnetic field distribution and magnetic fluxes in the large, complicated flare-active region NOAA 6659. Special attention was given to the study of the proper motions of its individual umbrae, and the tine-of-sight velocities in the whole region. All the observed changes are compared with the appearance of large, white-light flares. The development of this AR during three preceding and two following solar rotations is also mentioned.

The velocities of the spot displacements (varying mostly from about 10 to 100 s-1 at the most), as well as their directions, are strongly influenced by the changes of magnetic activity and spot formation, and by disintegration of the group. These seem to coincide with the regions of the strong "reversed" line-of-sight motions. In these places the mutual orientations of the negative and positive velocity areas are "reversed", if compared with the Evershed effect flows, occupying the whole active region.

The mutual relations of these particular motions with the magnetic field topology and the close connections of flares there with are also discussed. Since the observed motions and magnetic fields may in certain areas of the studied AR mutually interact, we believe that local motions play a very significant role in its restructuring and possibly also in its flaring capacity.

Bibcode: 1993Ap&SS.199...45B Altcode: Earlier results concerning sympathetic flares - physically related flares occurring in different active regions practically in the same time - and time-correlated radio bursts are compared with magnetic situation in active regions with related flaring and with the history and dynamics of its development. We found observational evidence abou the reality of sympathetic flares, demonstrating also that active regions in which they appear are physically related through common dynamical elements in which the evolution of their magnetic fields goes parallel. Such a process may sometimes occupy a very large volume of the photosphere and we believe that it might be related to the large-scale convective motions.

Bibcode: 1991BAICz..42..381B Altcode: The existence of Active Longitudes (ALs) recurring every 28-29 days is briefly discussed. These Als develop at higher heliophysical latitudes in the same way as the 27-day ALs in the equatorial belt, but in this equatorial belt the slowly rotating ALs acts as a trigger mechanism of greater activity, especially when it crosses the 27-day AL. Title: Photometry of the Umbral Structure of a Fast-developing Sunspot Authors: Sobotka, M.; Simberova, S.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1991BAICz..42..250S Altcode: A high-quality white-light photograph of an umbra of a large complex spot was analyzed. Digital image processing methods were used. The extensively inhomogeneous structure of the umbra, related to the fast dynamics of development, displays many features (dark cores, bright dots, light bridge, etc.), intensities and temperatures which were studied in detail. In the dark cores a relatively low temperature was obtained. A relation between the intensity of the individual bright umbral dots and their dark surroundings was found. Title: Is the recurrent enhanced geomagnetic activity preceding the sunspot minimum related to magnetic fields of the new or old activity cycle? Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1991BAICz..42..161B Altcode: The author compares the new index of recurrence of enhanced geomagnetic activity with the latitudinal and longitudinal distribution of solar magnetic fields and prominences for the recent two eleven-year cycles of solar activity. It is demonstrated that the streamers of the solar wind causing the considerable enhancement and regularity in recurrences of large geomagnetic disturbances during the descending phase and before the end of an eleven-year cycle, are anchored into the system of magnetic fields formed by the fields of the old eleven-year cycle of solar activity. Title: A new index of recurrence for long-lasting enhanced geomagnetic activity. Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1991BAICz..42...85B Altcode: A new index of recurrence for high, long-lasting enhancements of geomagnetic activity based on the daily geomagnetic character figures C9 is proposed and calculated. The variations of the new index values and their periodicities are discussed. The main purpose of introducing this new index is the possibility of improved investigations of its correlation with the time and global distribution of various solar activity phenomena. Title: Low-latitude Active Longitudes on the Sun and in Interplanetary Space Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1991BAICz..42...76B Altcode: Following a short review of the history of the development of the active longitude concept, several graphs of the longitudinal distribution of various low-altitude phenomena of solar activity published by various authors were reprocessed. The inclinations of the active longitudes found were calculated. A summary picture of all these inclinations demonstrates the concentration of such active longitudes into two main directions. Two values of synodic rotation: 26.77 days and 27.16 days, corresponding to these two types of low-altitude active longitudes, rotating faster than Carrington's rotation. The summary graph of all active longitudes belonging to these two types shows that active longitudes of different activity phenomena and from different authors overlap to a relatively high degree and that they run at least through three eleven-year cycles. The first of these active longitudes moves around the whole sun in about 45-55 rotations and the second one in about 200 Carringtons' rotations.

Bibcode: 1990BAICz..41..325B Altcode: The last evolutionary stage of the magnetic cycle is examined on the basis of recent observations of polar faculae. It is concluded that polar faculae represent the final evolutionary stage of the magnetic cycle or a cycle of active-region formation sharply distinguished morphologically, dynamically, and probably physically from the new cycle. Title: The new index of recurrence of high geomagnetic activity and its relation to the solar activity cycle. Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L. Bibcode: 1990Ge&Ae..30..669B Altcode: A new index of the 27-day recurrence of large geomagnetic disturbances over the past 100 years are proposed and calculated. Time variations of this index are correlated with the latitudinal distribution of solar magnetic fields and prominences during cycles 20 and 21. It is suggested that the recurrence of high geomagnetic activity at the solar-activity decline phase is associated with solar-wind streams issuing from a specific solar global magnetic field configuration of the preceding 11-year cycle. Title: Active longitudes on the Sun and their manifestation in interplanetary space. Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L. Bibcode: 1990Ge&Ae..30..550B Altcode: Longitudinal-distribution graphs of different manifestations of solar activity are analyzed. The analysis shows the existence of two fundamental directions of active longitudes rotating faster than the Carrington revolution. The mean value of the synodic revolution of the first direction is 26.77 d while that of the second direction is 27.16 d. It is suggested that both of these active longitudes are manifested in the two fundamental inclinations of the IMF sector boundaries demonstrated by Svalgaard and Wilcox and synodically rotating over 26.84 and 27.14 d. Title: The Basic Cycle of Solar Activity and the Global Magnetic Field and Active Phenomena Distribution Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.; Rusin, V.; Rybansky, M. Bibcode: 1990Ap&SS.170...85B Altcode: We have compared the latitudinal distributions of polar faculae, green coronal emission maxima, prominences and of a new index of enhanced geomagnetic recurrence with the distribution of magnetic fields during the cycles Nos. 20 and 21. We did not find a distinct high-latitude initial stage of an extended cycle in the corona, prominences and polar faculae distribution. On the contrary, it seems that the polar faculae and their following polarity magnetic fields represent the last evolutionary phase of a magnetic activity cycle lasting 15 17 years. The enhanced recurrent geomagnetic activity seems to be related to the old cycle fields. All studied phenomena clearly display two types of latitudinal distribution: the polar belts, into which the old following polarity fields have been transported from the equatorial belt where both the polarities developin situ simultaneously, but in which the leading polarity fields only remain, crossing the equator during the minimum of activity, to play the same role on the opposite hemispheres in the new cycle. Title: Large-scale distribution of magnetic fields, green corona and prominences during an extended activity cycle Authors: Bumba, Vaclav; Rusin, Vojtech; Rybansky, Milan Bibcode: 1990SoPh..128..253B Altcode: 1990IAUCo.121P.253B The interrelations of the latitudinal distribution of the coronal green emission maxima, maximal numbers and areas of prominences, magnetic fields, sunspots, and polar faculae in the 20th and 21st sunspot cycles have been investigated. It is again demonstrated how the behaviour of all studied data depends on their heliographic latitude. In the polar zone, well separated from the equatorial we observe following polarity magnetic fields transported only polewards, while the equatorial zone is occupied mostly by leading polarity fields, developed there, moving equatorwards, and crossing the equator to the other hemisphere with the new cycle during the minimum of sunspot activity. Title: Green Corona, Prominences and Magnetic Fields Latitudinal Distribution During an Extended Cycle of Activity Authors: Bumba, V.; Rusin, V.; Rybansky, M. Bibcode: 1990BAICz..41..253B Altcode: The latitudinal distribution of green corona emission maxima and the maximum frequency of prominence occurrence are presently related to the large-scale regularities in the latitudinal distribution of (1) magnetic fields, (2) polar faculae, and (3) sunspots. The existence of polar and equatorial main latitudinal zones in both solar hemispheres is demonstrated by observational data. The main magnetic patterns are underlined by the distribution of prominences and of green coronal emission maxima; the latter also seem to exhibit two different qualities in their latitudinal distribution, depending on the heliographic latitudes.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L. Bibcode: 1990Ge&Ae..30..565B Altcode: The authors propose and calculate a new index for the 27-day recurrence of large geomagnetic disturbances for the past 100 years. The time variation in this index is compared against the latitude distribution of solar-magnetic fields and prominences for cycles 20 and 21. They show that the solar-wind flows which lead to significant enhancement of large geomagnetic disturbances and the regular recurrence period of large geomagnetic disturbances during the decline in solar activity at the end of each 11-year solar cycle are correlated with the magnetic field in the preceding 11-year cycle. Title: Active longitudes on the Sun and their reflection in interplanetary space. Authors: Bumba, V.; Heina, L. Bibcode: 1990Ge&Ae..30..465B Altcode: Plots of the longitudinal distribution of various manifestations of solar activity according to the papers of a number of authors are analyzed. The slopes of the active longitudes found are calculated. A similar plot of these slopes reveals the existence of two main directions of active longitudes that rotate more rapidly than the Carrington rotation. The average value of the synodic rotation of the first direction is 26.77 days and of the second direction is 27.16 days. A combined plot of all active longitudes shows that the active longitudes of various activity indices, and according to data of various authors, overlap to a definite extent and that both directions cross in the course of several 11-year cycles without interruption - the first with a step of 45 - 55 rotations, and the second with a step of 200 rotations of the Sun. Both these active longitudes have, their own reflection in the two main slopes of the sector boundaries of the IMF shown by Svalgaard and Wilcox and rotating synoptically in 26.84 and 27.44 days. Title: Solar Active Longitudes and their Possible Relation to the Regular Large-Scale Patterns of the Solar Magnetic Fields Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1990PDHO....7...92B Altcode: 1990dysu.conf...92B; 1990ESPM....6...92B Four groups of solar active longitudes with different synodic rotation periods are discussed. The dynamics of their formation is studied on the longitudinal distribution of highly integrated Stanford magnetic charts. An attempt is made to relate them with the regular large-scale features of the background fields visible around the time of the recent two minima of solar activity. Title: Photometry of the Internal Structure of a Large Umbra Authors: Bumba, V.; Sobotka, M.; Šimberová, S. Bibcode: 1990PDHO....7...84B Altcode: 1990ESPM....6...84B; 1990dysu.conf...84B An analysis of a high-resolution white-light photograph of an umbra of a large complex main spot was performed. Digital image processing methods were used. The umbra was observed as a very inhomogeneous structure with large differences in intensities of the individual elements (dark cores, bright dots, light bridge, etc.). The temperatures of these elements were derived. It is demonstrated that the intensity of the individual bright umbral dots is related to the intensity of their dark surroundings. Title: On Motions of Magnetic Fields and Induction of Activity Centers Authors: Sattarov, I.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1990PDHO....7...48S Altcode: 1990ESPM....6...48S; 1990dysu.conf...48S The problem of the existence of an agent exciting the appearance of activity centers connected with the action of active longitudes is discussed. Title: The Patterns of the Twenty Two-Year Cycle of Solar Activity in Sunspots Statistics and in the Global Magnetic Field and Activity Distribution Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1989BAICz..40...17B Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: A Cumulative Method of Presentation of Solar Activity Secular Changes Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39..355B Altcode: A cumulative graphical method is presented for representing step-wise secular changes in the general trends of solar activity. The cumulative curve is divided into linear sections of several eleven-year cycles. The inclination of this curve is used to estimate the average value of solar relative numbers. The results are compared with previous results (Bumba and Hejan, 1988) concerning the secular changes 22-year periods. Observations covering almost five centuries are divided into four periods of high activity, two periods of low activity, and three or five periods of moderate activity. A table of these periods is given and the implications for geophysics are discussed. Title: Some Problems Concerning the Regularities in the Development of the Latitudinal Distribution of Solar Magnetic Fields Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39..363B Altcode: From the comparison of several modes of time development of the latitudinal distribution of solar magnetic fields, obtained by different authors using different basic observational material and different methods, the authors have obtained the following results: at high solar latitudes (|φ| ⪆ 40°) all distributions agree irrespective of the method of construction. In zones of activity around the solar equator, there is a qualitatively good but quantitatively poor agreement of the integrated, directly observed fields (from Mt. Wilson Observatory) and of the highly integrated fields derived from Hα synoptic charts. The areas covered by the positive and negative polarities on the whole Sun during the investigated one and half solar cycles (No. 20 and 21) are practically equal. Title: Geophysical consequences of solar magnetic field global distribution and changes Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1988bang.iafcQ....B Altcode: Two special cumulative graphical methods are used here to demonstrate the 22-year periodicity and the secular changes of solar activity during the last five centuries. The 22-year activity changes are related to large-scale regularities in the latitudinal and longitudinal distribution of magnetic fields and activity on the whole solar surface and to their reflections in interplanetary space. Fast, short-duration changes in the field and activity distribution are studied, and it is shown that practically every significant maximum in the flare frequency is accompanied by a redistribution of the solar global magnetic fields, followed by the reorganization of field sector structure and rebuilding of coronal holes. This global magnetic field reorganization and maximum occurrence of solar flares is related to the discrete magnetic flux supply into the solar atmosphere mostly in the form of large complexes of activity. The interplanetary and geophysical consequences of these variations are considered. Title: A Cumulative (Alternating) Method of Presentation of the Twenty Two-Year Periodicity of Solar Activity Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39..315B Altcode: A cumulative method of graphically representing the 22-year periodicity of solar activity is presented which permits the 22-year waves of activity to be seen as basic elements of a cumulative curve of yearly means or observed relative numbers. The ascending branch of each wave represents the successively summed yearly means belonging to the even 11-year cycles, while the descending branch represents yearly means belonging to the odd 11-year cycles successively subtracted from the above values. The method is used to investigate the mutual relations of the individual 11-year cycles forming one 22-year cycle as well as the secular changes in these relations. The length of the periods of secular activity changes using the method of the correlation periodogram is addressed. Title: What is a "Centre of Magnetic Activity" Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39..129B Altcode: The development of a characteristic magnetic field situation in the center of sunspot groups is studied using the CSSAR observational data set (Michard, 1968) concerning longitudinal magnetic field component maps. It is found that a strong source of radio-emission may be formed above the inner sector boundary. The frequencies and importances of flares closely related to this area are proportional to the degree of complexity of its magnetic field topology. The possible reasons for the development of this center of magnetic activity are discussed. Title: Formation of the White-light Flare Region of April 1984 (NOAA 4474) within the 21st Cycle of Solar Activity Authors: Bumba, V.; Geztelyi, L. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39...86B Altcode: The principal behavior of local and background magnetic fields accompanying the formation of the white-light flare region of April 1984, and the distribution of the fields on the solar surface during the two last submaxima of the 21st cycle of activity (from March 1983 to February 1985) are discussed. The large-scale activity of the fields is summarized. It is found that the main changes in the background field distribution on the time scale of rotations are caused by the almost rigid body Carrington rotation and by the influence of differential rotation on their weak remnants. It is suggested that the fields may be related to the very large elements of convection, and/or to the maxima of vorticity in the photospheric plasma flow. Title: Book Review: Interstellar magnetic fields : Observation and theory. / Springer-Verlag, 1987. Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39..128B Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Solar Flare Activity Changes and Global Magnetic Field Disturbances Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39....8B Altcode: Published observational data on solar-flare activity in the period 1965-1980 are analyzed statistically and related to changes in the magnetic active longitudes (MALs) identified and studied by Bumba and Hejna (1986). MALs are long strips of single-polarity fields which may persist for about 8-30 rotations and display internal structure. The data sets employed are briefly characterized, and the results are presented graphically. Flare maxima are found to correlate well with MAL disturbances, especially during the ascending phase of the solar cycle and with MALs of negative polarity. The possible implications of these findings for the interplanetary magnetic field and for theoretical models of flare generation are indicated. Title: Solar Global Background Magnetic Field Changes Accompanying the Development of the White-Light Flare Region of April 1984 (NOAA 4474) Authors: Bumba, V.; Gesztelyi, L. Bibcode: 1988BAICz..39....1B Altcode: In investigating the large-scale distribution changes of solar background magnetic field during a wide time interval around the formation of this very complex region, it is demonstrated that this development must be taken as part of a global process in the solar atmosphere. Complete reorganizations are seen in the magnetic active longitude patterns and the solar magnetic-field sector structure, clearly related to its maximum stage. It is also shown that, at the same time, restructuralization of coronal holes took place. The relation of large-scale cellularlike structures to this development is also studied. It is concluded that the formation of this strong white-light flare region was casually related to the rebuilding of the global solar magnetic field. Title: Rotation of Individual Background Magnetic Field Components During the Formation of the White-Light Flare Region of April 1984 (NOAA 4474) Authors: Bumba, V.; Gesztelyi, L. Bibcode: 1987BAICz..38..351B Altcode: In the present continuation of their study of processes related to the development of the white-light flare region of April 1984, the authors pay greater attention to the problem of rotation rates of certain components of the background magnetic field, constituting the main patterns of the weak as well as strong fields, from three points of view: as they are demonstrated by the distribution of chromospheric filaments, from point of view of the existence of so-called "pivot points" (Mouradian et al., 1987) and of the rotation of the strongest magnetic flux sources. Title: Observation of Solar Differential Rotation with the Aid of Magnetic Tracers Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1987SoPh..110..109B Altcode: We tried to search for the manifestation of differential rotation in the distribution of weak remnants of magnetic fields measured with a very low resolution. We found that, during the periods of low solar activity and in parts of the solar photosphere with smaller density of new magnetic flux sources, it was possible to observe the distribution of magnetic tracers in the form of differential rotation parabolas which increase their curvature from one rotation to the next. The obtained differential rotation rates are not far from those given by highly averaged sunspot data or by the daily magnetic fields. The characteristic differential rotation parabolas as well as specific cellular-like features disturbing their smooth patterns are always formed from fields of one main polarity, the sign of which depends on the phase of the activity cycle. Title: Does the large-scale solar magnetic field distribution really reflect the convective velocity fields? Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1987SoPh..110...51B Altcode: We have tried to decide whether the typical circular cellular-like features, which are striking during some intervals in the large-scale distribution of weak magnetic fields measured with low resolution, are related to large-scale convective motions. Two scales of such patterns were found and their morphological, kinematical and evolutionary behaviour was estimated. Their slower and overall rotation is also demonstrated in comparison with the rotation of highly averaged sunspot and magnetic fields. It is difficult to explain all the observed characteristics as random, or due to the method of field measurement and map construction used. We also discuss the change of their magnetic field polarities with the solar polar field reversal. Title: Search for Giant Elements of Convection with the Aid of Magnetic Tracers Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1987BAICz..38...92B Altcode: In this communication the author discusses once more the physical reality of typical morphological cellular-like features of the large-scale distribution of weak background magnetic fields measured with low resolution. He has established several characteristic behaviours concerning the dynamics of their development, of their relation to differential rotation, to the frequency and intensity of new magnetic flux sources. Their rotation as a whole, which is slower than the differential rotation of the upper photospheric layers, and their lifetimes speak in favour of their physical reality and their possible relation to giant elements of convection. Title: High flare activity and redistribution of solar global magnetic fields. Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.; Gesztelyi, L. Bibcode: 1987PAICz..66..129B Altcode: 1987eram....1..129B The authors demonstrate that both in the global scale and in the scale of large and complex active regions the high flare activity is closely related to the changes in the whole background magnetic field distribution.

Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1987PAICz..66...59B Altcode: 1987eram....1...59B The author summarizes his previous results concerning the local magnetic field formation, showing that its sunspot groups developing to reach higher typec C, D, E etc. continue their magnetic evolution during the period of new magnetic flux addition immediately after the first magnetically bipolar balanced stage. It is probably a magnetohydrodynamical process of magnetic field strengthening or a new magnetic flux generation. The important role of the photosphere in all these processes is underlined. Title: Magnetic fields of the sun and stars. Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1987PAICz..66....3B Altcode: 1987eram....1....3B The author summarizes the main results obtained by the joint effort of solar and stellar physicists in investigating solar and solar type activities in the low-mass main-sequence stars. He demonstrates the basic role of the magnetic field in this activity and the importance of its interaction with the convection and differential rotation of each star. Title: Solar Differential Rotation Reflected in the Distribution of Background Magnetic Fields Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1987BAICz..38...29B Altcode: It is demonstrated that the differential rotation rates estimated with the use of weak remnants of magnetic fields measured with a very low resolution during the periods of low solar activity and in regions of the photosphere with very low density of new magnetic flux sources are between the differential rotation values obtained with the aid of highly averaged sunspot data and from the daily magnetic field measurements. The effects disturbing the smooth changes of solar rotation velocity values with heliographic latitude, seen clearly in the distribution of magnetic fields as solar differential rotation parabolas, are briefly discussed. Title: Scientific mission to asteroid Phaethon Authors: Padevet, V.; Lala, P.; Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1986inns.iafcQ....P Altcode: The asteroid 3200 Phaethon (previously 1983 TB) is being suggested for direct research by interplanetary probe. The asteroid, in an Apollo-type orbit, coincides with Geminid meteor stream and is so far the only body known to have features of an asteroid as well as a comet. A special program has been prepared for a desk computer to analyze interplanetary orbits with which the asteroid could be reached by the year 2000. Direct trajectories as well as trajectories with a gravitational maneuver near Venus have been tested. Title: Magnetic Field and Photospheric Development of a Particular Sunspot Group from June 1963 Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1986BAICz..37..281B Altcode: The influence of hydromagnetic and nonmagnetic forces, acting during the process of active region formation and aging is demonstrated on the basis of the investigation of the active region's magnetic field and the sunspot organization and structure related to it. Especially the existence of the short-lived peculiar photospheric filamentary stream in its relation to the dynamics of local field evolution is shown. Magnetic flux changes as related to flare occurrence are studied, and a comparison of the longitudinal and transverse component of the magnetic field with its whole vector for one day of observation is made. The importance of the new magnetic flux development at the inner boundary between the leading and following polarities is estimated. Title: Formation of the May 1981 Solar Flare Complex and the Global Magnetic Field of the Sun (H. R. 17 644) Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1986BAICz..37..210B Altcode: The degree to which the development of the May 1981 flare complex is related to the global changes of the solar background magnetic fields is studied. It is connected with the action of magnetic active longitudes, it lasts about 10 rotations, and in its last phase it forms a coronal hole. Its fields play a role in forming two sectors in the equatorial background fields and are involved in the fast global field redistribution into regular morphological patterns. All regularities found require physical interpretation. Title: Kinematics of the May 1981 Flare Complex's Magnetic Field Decrease (H. R. 17 644) Authors: Bumba, V.; Kálmán, B.; Klvaňa, M.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1986BAICz..37..219B Altcode: Characteristic details of the postmaximum dissolution process of magnetic and photospheric patterns of the May 1981 flare complex are studied over about one week of fine-scale observations. Magnetic-flux and area changes in the course of field-topology simplification are estimated. In the photosphere only five features with a more stable field configuration survived this evolutionary stage. Flare activity variations are related to the individual changes observed in the magnetic field topology and photospheric morphology, and some conclusions concerning the consumption of magnetic energy stored in the system of magnetic field lines above the photosphere are drawn. Title: Main phases of active region's magnetic field development Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1986CoSka..15...49B Altcode: Three main evolutionary stages of a magnetic local field development are characterized. Title: Solar local magnetic fields and their relations to the background fields Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1986CoSka..15..495B Altcode: Generalization of some of the author's recent results concerning the close mutual relation of solar magnetic background and local fields is presented. Dependence of local field formations on sector structure and through it on Magnetic Active Longitudes, influence of differential rotation and convectional elements and the role of local fields in the background field dynamics are described.

Bibcode: 1985BAICz..36..177B Altcode: The positions of solar flares identified in the He3-rich Solar Flares Catalog of Slivka (1982) were compared with magnetic field patterns for selected areas of the solar disk during the period 1968-1978. A high concentration of He3 solar flares was found in magnetically active longitudes; practically all of the flare events occurred in or near a well-defined magnetic field boundary surrounded by a field of the opposite polarity. The patterns of the magnetic field lines in the magnetically active longitudes are shown in synoptic charts. It is concluded that the geometry of the magnetic field may contribute to the enrichment of flare particles by H3. Title: Scientific objectives of the Intershock project.

Development of an Active Region at the Edge of an Older Bipolar Magnetic Field Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1984BAICz..35..224B Altcode: Processes visible during several impulses of new sunspot formations at the periphery of an older large background magnetic field body, in which one rotation earlier the large June-July 1974 proton-flare region developed, are discussed. The coalescence of separate nuclei into the future umbra and the counter-clockwise rotation of the whole leading region, the change of the rotational sense during its further development, as well as the non-simultaneous development of individual parts of the active region are underlined. Title: Processes observable in the photosphere during the formation of an active region. II - Development of a usual active region; growth of a SPOT penumbra Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1984BAICz..35...28B Altcode: All processes visible during the development of the magnetic field, sunspots and chromospheric structures in the usual active region of August 1974 are studied. The connection of the active region with the dynamics of the background field is discussed. The formation of a "centre of magnetic activity" is demonstrated on magnetic charts as well as in photospheric and chromospheric details. The regularities in the active region's magnetic field topology and dynamics, and their relations to the sunspot group development and formation of individual sunspots are shown. The process of formation of a penumbra is described. Title: L. Perek, 65th birthday. Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1984Rise...65..148B Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Solar and stellar activities. Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1984StCeF..36..438B Altcode: Following recent observations of solar-like activity in red dwarf stars, similar processes in solar and stellar atmospheres due to the action of the magnetic fields are analyzed. The correlation between the stellar atmosphere and the evolution and distribution of the magnetic field is discussed, as well as the activity of the photosphere, chromosphere and corona as connected with magnetic flux in the stellar photosphere. Finally, the dynamics of the solar local magnetic fields and the dynamo theory are also studied. Title: Processes Observable in the Photosphere During the Formation of an Active Region. 1. Development of a Very Small, Secondary Active Region Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1983BAICz..34..349B Altcode: Observations made with the Ondrejov radiospectrograph in the frequency band 70-810 MHz on July 4, 1974 are used to investigate processes accompanying the formation of a very small secondary active region. The formation of this region is examined in relation to the development of a new local magnetic field on the background field through restructuring and dissipation and in relation to the evolution of a small bipolar sunspot group. Magnetic flux values are estimated, and attention is given to the morphology of the transformation of small sunspots and to two modes of small-sunspot disintegration. Title: How Does the Magnetic Field of an Usual Active Region Develop? Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1983BAICz..34..219B Altcode: The existence of a regular pattern of development in a single solar active region's magnetic field, at least in some of its evolutionary stages, and the pattern's dependence on the heliographic position or on the phase of the solar activity cycle is investigated using about 36 sets of 'qualitative' maps of the longitudinal field distribution. Evidence of the influence of solar differential rotation on the shape of the magnetic field and of other dynamical forces arising from the flow of photospheric matter around the active region is obtained. It is shown that magnetic lines of force in the active region's 'center' form a subsystem which is lower than and perpendicular to the main system of magnetic lines of force joining the leading and following main spots. Title: The Problem of Field Geometry in Sunspots Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1983BAICz..34..155B Altcode: A comparison is conducted of the results of older spectroscopic magnetic field and velocity field observations in regular sunspots with the results obtained from white-light and monochromatic photographs of sunspots in the form of three schemes of magnetic field lines of force, velocity vectors and fine structure fibril distribution. From these schemes, the horizontal as well as the vertical scales of which are not distorted, the good agreement of the magnetic field distribution in the penumbra with motion of the photospheric and chromospheric penumbral matter, their depths and heights are seen. The difference between the umbral and penumbral field topology and physical conditions, as well as the uncertainty of the position of bright penumbral fibrils in relation to the magnetic field and radial motion distribution is also obtained. The possible conclusions of this comparison are briefly discussed. Title: Observable physical effects during new solar active regions formations Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1983AN....304....7B Altcode: The present paper is an attempt to demonstrate the importance of detailed observations for the theory of solar local magnetic field generation. Mutual relations of solar background magnetic fields and new active region formations are described. The influence of various factors, dependent on as well as independent of the cycle of solar activity and the dynamics of background fields, is considered. All forces and effects whose action can be derived from systematic observations of magnetic field distribution and high resolution photospheric photographs of all stages of active regions development are discussed. The influence of convection, of the reaction on field lines penetration, of various magnetic forces, of differential rotation, and of hydrodynamical forces is demonstrated. The importance of a 'center of magnetic activity', a magnetic subsystem orthogonal to the main system of active region's field as a source of new magnetic flux, is underlined. The necessity of a new approach to the problem of local magnetic field generation is stated. Title: Proper motions observed in active regions. Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1983PDHO....5...47B Altcode: 1984PDHO....5...47B The author summarizes the results obtained from the observations of proper motions visible during the growth of local magnetic fields of active regions and during the formation and further development of their sunspot groups. The low efficiency of magnetic forces during the studied processes and, in contrast, the importance of hydrodynamic forces is demonstrated. The feedback action of the moving photosphere on the shape of magnetic field distribution and on the sunspot forms is shown too. Title: Development of Sunspots in the Colliding Magnetic Fields of the June - July 1974 Proton-Flare Group Authors: Bumba, V.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1983BAICz..34...29B Altcode: Results are presented of a study on the development of sunspots in the colliding magnetic fields of two large active regions that together form one complex proton-flare sunspot group. Not only morphological changes in two types of sunspot light bridges but also the formation of new sunspots in two main and one secondary 'center of gravity' are shown. These are in good agreement with the 'magnetic centers' and, in particular, with the dynamical consequences of the motions and collisions of different umbrae of like as well as unlike polarities. Title: Magnetic Field Development in an Isolated Active Region (McMath No. 13 736) Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvaňa, M.; Tomášek, P. Bibcode: 1982BAICz..33..321B Altcode: The relation of the magnetic field development in an isolated active region to the dynamics of the background magnetic field is investigated. Only the magnetic field longitudinal component is used to estimate the growth of the magnetic flux values for both polarities. The magnetic field is found to slowly dissipate and enlarge its area during the five rotations after the first appearance of the field. The rate of field expansion in heliographic longitude and latitude is determined to approximate 10 degrees per rotation. It is suggested that the formation of a secondary active region during the postmaximum phase of the development of the main active region is a natural phase in the evolution of the main active region's magnetic field. The active region is considered to be the final product of a secondary active longitude, and after this source has disappeared the system of magnetic fields dissipates in its own way. Title: June-July 1974 Proton-Flare Region. IV. The Dynamics of the Local Magnetic Field Evolution during the Proton-Flare Events Rotation Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1982BAICz..33..281B Altcode: The dynamics of the day to day evolution of the June-July 1974 proton-flare region's local magnetic field, composed originally of at least two individual local fields, are analyzed, and the development of the magnetic centers of activity of the proton-flare local magnetic field is investigated. Results show that the development of the new magnetic fluxes can be related to two main and at least one secondary center of activity. It is indicated that one of the main reasons for the changes of the observed field topology is the tendency of the complex magnetic field to form one simple bipolar field, properly inclined toward the equator. During these changes of the field topology, the positive field of the eastern region extended toward the west to join the same polarity field of the western region and became the main leading field. The western negative polarity field shifted towards the east to join the eastern field of like polarity which took over the role of the main following field. Title: June-July 1974 Proton-Flare Region. III. The Geomagnetic Activity During the Declining Phase of the Complex Process Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1982BAICz..33..215B Altcode: Characteristics of the solar wind emanating from the region of the solar atmosphere in which the formation of the June-July 1974 proton-flare region took place are investigated. It is shown that the daily geomagnetic character figures C 9 reach their maximum when the rapid disintegration and disappearance of the large-scale characteristic magnetic field patterns occur and when there is a sudden cessation of sunspot, flare, and coronal activity. This solar wind enhancement is taken as one of the last observable manifestations of the entire complex process. Title: June - July 1974 Proton-Flare Region II. Regularities in the Magnetic Field Area and Related Sunspot and Flare-Activity Development Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L.; Yen, Le Bach Bibcode: 1982BAICz..33..160B Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Solar Active Region SD 55/1975 in the Frame of the Background Magnetic Field Development Authors: Bumba, V.; Klvana, M.; Pflug, K. Bibcode: 1982BAICz..33...36B Altcode: The evolution of the background magnetic field pattern is described. The complex needed only one or two rotations to reach its maximum evolutionary state and its whole duration was about 10 or 12 rotations. The studied active region appears during the early stages of a new impulse of activity, whose development is described along with that of the green coronal emission of which the complex of activity forms the center of gravity. Low resolution magnetic maps are used to describe the development of the complex of activity and high resolution maps are used to compare characteristic evolutionary features of the active region with photospheric and chromospheric development. It is concluded that the active region represents only a small part of a more general evolutionary process of the magnetic field. Title: Development of Solar Energetic Particle Sources Within the Background Magnetic Fields Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1982SSRv...32..229B Altcode: The greatest coronal and interplanetary disturbances are considered consequences of complex processes accompanying development of large-flare regions. Such regions not only possess a specific magnetic field configuration, but their magnetic topology develops following certain rules within the frame of slowly changing large-scale distribution of the background magnetic field patterns as a result of the mutual influences of new magnetic flux appearance as well as old field weakening and dissipation. In this paper we try to demonstrate the individual phases of the large-scale long lasting magnetic field pattern formation with their morphological characteristics and magnetic field configurations. The time scale of the whole process is shown, and the possible reasons of such development are discussed. The proton flare regions of August 1972 and July 1974 are used as examples of the successive magnetic field complication and strengthening, the result of which is the appearance of still more complicated magnetic and velocity fields that produces proton flares and then the fast disintegration of the whole magnetic situation occupying more than one half of the visible solar surface following the occurrence of the proton flares. The consequences which may be used for the proton flare prediction are discussed. Title: Solar Activity Authors: Bumba, V.

N. Bibcode: 1981BAICz..32..286B Altcode: The positions of individual flare-emission features penetrating the umbrae of sunspots are compared with the underlying elements of these umbrae. Five flares in three large and complex active regions are investigated. The results obtained demonstrate that the flare emission observed in the wings of the hydrogen H(alpha)-line correlates well with the photospheric-like sunspot light-bridges and gulfs of umbrae and that it mostly avoids the darkest parts of umbrae, the field intensity of which is usually greater than 200 mT. Title: June-July 1974 Proton-Flare Region. I. Individual Stages of Its Background and Local Magnetic Field Development Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1981BAICz..32..349B Altcode: Evolutionary characteristics of the large-scale magnetic field pattern producing the June-July 1974 proton flare region are described. The region's space and time relation to the intersection of two different magnetically active longitudes is estimated, and its individual development stages are demonstrated. The process of successive complication of local magnetic field producing the proton-flare region and its growth of complexity in frame of the background magnetic field continuous redistribution are studied. The development of the June-July 1974 magnetic situation and that of the August 1972 proton-flare region are compared, finding many similarities although the events occurred at distinct stages of the solar cycle with different situations of activity density and with different latitudes. Title: Beginning Stages of Local Magnetic Field Formation Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1981BAICz..32..129B Altcode: Based on a study of the initial stages of local magnetic field formation, the appearance of a new magnetic flux in the photosphere is studied. This magnetic flux is found to occur both under the influence of different modes of convective motion as well as under the action of Paleomagnetic fields. Waldmeier's Heliographic Maps of the Photosphere and Mt. Wilson Observatory daily magnetic maps were used in the analysis. Observed regularities could not be explained by a model of magnetic flux tubes emerging on the photospheric surface. This model can not account for the practically simultaneous development of separate active regions, belonging to different solar hemispheres and different cycles of solar activity in one, relatively narrow, 'unipolar' sector of the background field. It is also difficult to explain the different roles and velocities of negative and positive polarities during the formation of new magnetic fields. The importance of velocity measurements and maps for solving the observed phenomenon is stressed. Title: Some Peculiarities in the Development of the Large August 1972 Sunspot Group Authors: Bumba, V.; Hejna, L. Bibcode: 1980BAICz..31..257B Altcode: On the basis of a large series of good quality sunspot photographs and with the aid of daily Mt. Wilson magnetograms the individual phases in the August 1972 proton-flare sunspot grou5 development are found and their relation to the changes of magnetic field topology estimated. A very detailed description of two types of sunspot light-bridge evolution and their dependence on the magnetic field polarity distribution is given. A brief summary of the investigation of the chromospheric fine structure morphology determination by the underlying photospheric as well as magnetic field details in the group is presented. Finally, some development peculiarities, especially the exceptional role of features with the positive polarity fields embraced by the negative polarity fields in the formation of strong field gradients are compared with the evolution of some peculiarities in the July 1974 proton-flare group. Title: August 1972 Proton-flare Region and Different Phases of Its Background Magnetic Field Development Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1980BAICz..31..351B Altcode: Magnetic synoptic charts and daily maps are used to examine the individual phases and separate impulses of the background magnetic field evolution accompanying the development of the August 1972 proton-flare region. The fast disintegration and dissipation of the magnetic field of the main proton-flare region during the few rotations following the occurrence of the proton-flare event is emphasized. Title: Initial phase of the development of the magnetic field of an active region in the photosphere Authors: Bumba, V.; Tomasek, P. Bibcode: 1980tpmb.meet...35B Altcode: The initial phases of the development of magnetic fields in new active regions were studied on the basis of daily magnetic maps from Mt. Wilson Observatory and magnetic charts of individual active regions obtained at the Ondrejov Observatory. It is found that the formation of the magnetic flux of new active regions appears to be a part of the process of background magnetic field development and is determined by the supergranular network. The formation of a new active region is characterized by the relationship between a new field and the 'unipolar' region of an old field; the temporal succession in the appearance of the following and leading portions of the new region; the important role of the negative polarity field; the successive development of fluxes of individual polarities; the identity of the basic focus of magnetic field development with the center of developing sunspot groups; and the existence of secondary centers of magnetic field development.

Bibcode: 1980BAICz..31..101B Altcode: The paper reports high-resolution photographic investigations of the structural details in sunspot umbrae which belong to spots with various magnetic field intensity values in different evolutionary phases, and occurring in groups with a distinct magnetic field and morphological topology. It was found that each sunspot umbrae, regardless of size, magnetic field intensity, darkness, form, age or presence of a penumbra, has an identical internal morphological structure formed of a dark network of cellular elements, the center of each being filled in by a bright grain. Constructed structural maps, representing the positions of the bright central parts of the cellular elements, are completely identical for photospheric and umbral granular fields. In addition, the lifetime of the individual umbral cells is found to be between 10-30 minutes in most cases, while the fundamental physical importance of the dark intergranular space in the photosphere is re-emphasized in this study.

Magnetographic observations. Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1977IzKry..56..188B Altcode: In this survey of studies concerning the origin of active regions, emphasis is placed on the relations among the distribution of magnetic fields, the origin of active regions, and the large-scale distribution of background magnetic and velocity fields in the solar atmosphere. The development of active regions is discussed with reference to supergranulation, and the development of sun spots and sun spot groups is considered with attention to magnetic and velocity fields. Maps of magnetographic observations are presented, and the implications of the data for the determination of solar phenomena interrelationships are examined. Title: A Note on Recurrences in the Magnetic Field Distribution during the Present Cycle of Solar Activity Authors: Bumba, V. Bibcode: 1976BAICz..27...74B Altcode: Some results are presented for a preliminary analysis of synoptic magnetic charts obtained at Mt. Wilson Observatory during the present solar-activity cycle. Practically no changes in the behavior of the magnetic-field distribution are observed in the present cycle relative to the preceding one. It is found that even the roles of positive and negative polarities seem unchanged, although their functions as leading and trailing polarities have been exchanged. The importance of the two basic recurrences or sequences in the large-scale magnetic-field distribution, with respective periods of 27 days and 28-29 days, is emphasized. The existence of latitudinal shifts or 'oscillations' in solar activity is noted. Title: Conditions for Solar Observations at the Ondřejov Observatory Authors: Bumba, V.; Hrebik, F.; Suda, J. Bibcode: 1976BAICz..27..217B Altcode: An attempt to demonstrate the suitability of the Ondrejov Observatory for high-quality and high-resolution observations of solar features is made, drawing on all systematic solar observations undertaken at the site since 1948. The climate of Ondrejov, as well as the observational conditions over the years and during different months, are discussed. The changes of solar seeing in the course of the day and the intervals of best seeing conditions are shown. Some high-quality photographs of the photosphere are presented as an example of the usefulness of the observational material for obtaining new aspects of solar active regions.

Bibcode: 1976BAICz..27..153B Altcode: Correlations of the negative and positive polarity sectors of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) with the main bodies of the negative and positive supergiant structures of the solar magnetic field are pointed out. When the IMF is bipolar, the negative-positive sector boundary lies close to the region of high activity. The shift of sector boundaries in heliographic longitude, if examined in successive rotations, is parallel to that of the solar magnetic field rows and streams in the equatorial strips of solar synoptic magnetic charts mounted successively. This means that the synodic rotation of the sector boundaries is close to 27 days. At the same time, the centers of gravity of successive interplanetary field sectors are shifted to the east with synodic rotation close to 28-29 days. Both main types of shifts have been found in the solar background magnetic field distribution. Title: Dynamics of sunspot development. Authors: Bumba, V.

Bibcode: 1970SoPh...14...80B Altcode: Using the Mt. Wilson magnetic synoptic charts from the recent solar activity cycles the dynamics of the formation of giant regular structures formed in the plus (leading) polarity of older more extended magnetic fields are studied. Although their diameters are about one order greater than those of supergranules, the processes of their development go analogously to those of supergranulation and granulation. Title: Solar Activity and Recurrences in Magnetic-Field Distribution Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, R. Bibcode: 1969SoPh....7...28B Altcode: A study of the Mount Wilson magnetic-field synoptic chart material divided into latitude zones for the interval 1959-67, and a comparison of the data with sunspot groups have provided a better understanding of the structure of the background-field pattern and its relation to activity. The interaction of old and new fields within the pattern seems to result in long-lived sections of alternating polarity in both hemispheres. We postulate subsurface sources with rotation periods of about 27 days which produce active regions over a longitude zone of some tens of degrees. There is a tendency for the background-field features with strong fields to resist to some extent the shearing effects of differential rotation. A prediction is made concerning the nature of the interplanetary magnetic field above the ecliptic.

Bibcode: 1967SoPh....1..371B Altcode: Preliminary results of magnetic field measurements in small sunspots from spectrograms obtained with the aid of the McMath Solar Telescope at the Kitt Peak National Observatory are presented. The measured intensities are greater than or equal to about 1200 Gauss. Furthermore, a broadening of the FeI line λ6302.508 Å was found in some places of intergranular space. The importance of intergranular space as a possible potential earliest stage of sunspot development is mentioned. Title: Variability of the Integrated Solar K Line Emission Authors: Bumba, V.; Růžičková-Topolová, B. Bibcode: 1967SoPh....1..216B Altcode: The preliminary results presented in this note seem to demonstrate the facts that the sun observed as a star in the light of the K and H lines is variable, and that this variability is closely related to that of the magnetic field intensity, or to the distribution of magnetic fields, and hence to the distribution of calcium plages or photospheric faculae in the solar atmosphere. This variability will not so much be related to the variation of Wolf's relative sunspot numbers or to the variation of the sunspot area.

The applicability of the obtained results for the examination of the late-type stars seems to be evident. Title: The Sun as a Magnetic Star Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, Robert; Smith, Sara F.

Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, Robert Bibcode: 1965ApJ...141.1502B Altcode: Solar magnetograms covering a period of years were used to study the distribution of weak magnetic fields on the solar surface. The semiregular pattern of these background fields is the result of the expansion, weakening, and stretching by differential rotation of magnetic fields of old active regions and their interaction with neighboring fields, and of the continuing development of magnetic fields of new regions within the pattern. The net result is a slowly changing pattern of background fields which occupies at times during the solar cycle more than 50 per cent of the surface area of the Sun, as seen with the 23" resolution of the magnetograph. The interaction of nearby magnetic fields takes the form of the apparent attraction of features of the same polarity and the apparent repulsion of features of opposite polarity. Sometimes weak magnetic features covering a large area apparently disappear over a period of a few rotations. It is not clear from the observations what the mechanism of this disappearance could be. It is clear from the period near minimum that active regions are concentrated in complexes of activity whose location and development are clearly defined. The largest of these complexes, consisting of many active regions, result in the formation of Unipolar Magnetic Regions (UMR). The polar fields are discussed from the standpoint of the poleward drift of the UMR's. Title: A Study of the Development of Active Regions on the Sun. Authors: Bumba, V.; Howard, Robert Bibcode: 1965ApJ...141.1492B Altcode: The early development of a large number of active regions was studied. Magnetic, photospheric, and chromospheric observations from Mount Wilson were used. It was found that the supergranular pattern of the solar atmosphere plays a very fundamental role in the development of active regions. New regions form in or immediately adjacent to expanding weak old regions that are seen as an enhanced calcium network. The first appearance of the new calcium plage (also of sunspots) takes place in the space between several supergranules, and the subsequent brightening occurs between supergranules, usually filling in several of them. In many cases it appeared that during the first day or two of the development of the group, the magnetic fields did not show zero net flux. Usually the direction of the development of the plage was from following to leading The increase of magnetic flux (the initial growth of the plage) takes place only during the first few days in the life of a region. During this period the boundary of the filamentary structure in Ha increases at the rate of about 200 m/sec. This evidently represents the rapid ordering of magnetic fields around the plage.

It is apparent that the large-scale pattern of the solar magnetic field is for the most part the result of the spreading out and stretching by differential rotation of portions of the magnetic fields of old active regions. These large-scale features persist for many months, while the small-scale patterns which are connected with active regions can change in a matter of days. The main direction of motion of the migrating fields is eastward and poleward. The following polarity in each hemisphere usually predominates in the poleward drift of fields. The polar magnetic field measurements record il~is quantized migration of fields (Undoubtedly, as has already been pointed out, this drift of following polarities was responsible for the reversal in polarity observed in the polar fields during the last maximum.) It appears that if there is a fixed component of a general solar field it is not apparent in these observations and would have to be less than a few tenths of a gauss. Judging from the distribution of the large-scale magnetic fields, one would observe the sun at a distance during some parts of the 22-yr cycle as a magnetic variable star (if it were possible to observe variations of a few Gauss) with irregular fluctuations and reversals in intervals of the order of a few da~~s. A portion of this work was made possible by the Advanced Research Projects Agency by means of a contract with the Lockheed Solar Observatory.
