Application of the chromospheric magnetograph to active regions.

It is shown how to determine the magnetic field structure in active regions from the H-alpha morphology. The role of EFR (emerging flux region) as a bipolar region of velocity downflow is also shown. It is pointed out that, since all new magnetic flux emerges in strictly bipolar form, complex spot groups must result from surface interaction, hence most of the solar surface field may be produced on the surface.

Sunspot motion and flaring in M482

A series of flares was studied in McMath 11482 August 19-22, 1971, with particular reference to the basis for the flares and comparison with dekameter radio data. The flares were produced by rapid (approximately 1000 km/hr) westward motion of a large new p spot. Many flares occur just in front of the spot, and they cease when the motion stops. All flares occuring in front of the spot produce type III bursts, while even strong flares elsewhere in the region produce little or no type III. The time of type III emission agrees perfectly with the start of the H alpha flare. Thus type III bursts are only produced in favorable configurations. Simultaneous K-line movies are compared with H alpha films and show little difference in flare appearance.
