Abstract
Recent observational and theoretical work on oscillations in sunspots is reviewed. The characteristic 3-minute umbral oscillations and flashes are reSonant modes of the sunspot itself, whereas the 5-minute oscillations in the umbra are a passive response to forcing by p modes in the surrounding convection zone. The observational evidence suggests that the fundamental cause of the 3-minute oscillations is the photospheric fast-mode resonance, with chromospheric slow-mode resonances perhaps producing additional oscillation frequencies in the chromosphere. Observations and theoretical models of the interaction of 5-minute p-mode oscillations with a sunspot offer a means of probing the structure of a sunspot magnetic flux tube beneath the solar surface. The observed differences between running penumbral waves in the chromosphere and in the photosphere may be explained by the effect of the Evershed flow on trapped magneto-atmospheric waves in the penumbra.
