The convective collapse of thin magnetic flux tubes in the photospheres of Sun-like stars is investigated using realistic models of the superadiabatic upper convection zone layers of these stars. The strengths of convectively ...

We examine the excitation of oscillations in the magnetic network of the Sun through the footpoint motion of photospheric magnetic flux tubes located in intergranular lanes. The motion is derived from a time series of ...

The linear response of a thin vertical magnetic flux tube to buffeting by p-modes in the ambient atmosphere is examined with the aim of understanding the interaction of acoustic modes with sausage tube waves. The idealized ...
