... 1994: . As a result of comparing the spectra of active solar regions from the observations with high spatial resolution in the microwave range at the RATAN-600 (the S-component) with a flare component observed at meter wavelengths on the VLA (USA) we revealed the presence of a strong and prolonged noise storm exactly where a weak decaying active region (with the presence of powerful active regions in the disk) is located. ...

Automatic Classification of Sunspot Groups Using SOHO/MDI Magnetogram and White Light Images David Stenning March 29, 2011 1 Introduction and Motivation Although solar data is being generated at an unprecedented rate, the majority of sunspot classification is done manually by experts. ... This is to smooth the "white" areas in the magnetograms. ... Left: Inverse Magnetogram Right: "Opened" Inverse Magnetogram 6 Using the cleaned images, sunspot active-region "seeds" are obtain by thresholding. ...

. These images show an active solar region on June 4, 2014. The image on the left shows the chromosphere (approximately 17,500 degrees F), whereas the image at right shows the transition region, both the site of the twisting motions observed with IRIS.
