Abstract
We report on Telescope Heliographique pour l'Etude du Magnetisme et des Instabilites Solaires (THEMIS) observations of linear polarization events associated with umbral flashes observed in the Ca II infrared (IR) triplet lines. The observed signals are usually delayed in time and shifted in space when compared to the intensity and circular polarization signals from the flash. The observations are compatible with a scenario whereby flashes are produced by a perturbation propagating along the magnetic field lines as they bend out toward the penumbra. Only a fraction of the resolution element appears to be emitting flashlike profiles, as if the waves were propagating only within localized magnetic field lines. This localization, however, does not impede the apparent propagation of the perturbation horizontally within the umbra.
