New knowledge about sunspot transition region lines that deviate significantly from a Gaussian shape are presented. Attention is given to "multiple flows," a line profile phenomenon in which two or more distinct velocities are observed within the same spatial resolution element. We observe line profiles that are well represented by two Gaussian line components in the N v l1242 and O v l629 lines and introduce the notation "dual flow." We have detected transition region oscillations in one of the line components in the dual-flow events.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
