Statistical Comparison between Pores and Sunspots during the Time Interval 2010–2023 by Yang Peng, Yu Fei, Nan-bin Xiang, Lin-hua Deng, Ting-ting Xu, Sheng Zheng, Shu-guang Zeng, Hai-yang Zhang, Shi-hu Liu

“…The relationships between umbral area, continuum intensity ( I ), line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic field strength ( B _los ), and line-of-sight velocity ( V _los ) of umbrae were investigated in detail. The main conclusions are as follows. (1) The steepness between the total magnetic flux and total area of transitional sunspots appears to be flattened in each phase of the observed solar cycles, and does not have a significant variation over the solar cycle. (2) For three groups of sunspots, the umbral physical parameters’ means and their correlations show only minor variations with the solar cycle, which are in error ranges. (3) As the mean umbral LOS magnetic field strength increases, the correlation of the umbral I – B _los increases. …”
