Abstract

It appears that it is necessary to look for oscillatory (i.e. overstable) instabilities as the cause of energy transport in sunspots. Making use of recent calculations on the hydromagnetic stability of thermally unstable layers with open boundary conditions, it is found that oscillatory modes can occur in the interior of sunspots. Some possible consequences of these oscillatory modes are discussed.
