Dark Core Movies
These are movies from the Dark Cores data set that our 2002 Nature
paper was based on.
The movies all show parts of the largest sunspot of Active Region
10030 observed on 15 July 2002 with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope on
La Palma. The tickmarks around the edge of the view are there to show
the scale. The distance between two ticks is either 1000 km or 100 km
as indicated. The numbers in the upper right corner indicates the time
since the start of the movie.
Please be sure to include proper
credit if using these movies. Observers: Göran Scharmer et al.
from the Institute for Solar Physics.
