technique. Sunspots are relatively cool regions of the solar disk where bundles of magnetic field lines break through the surface. A puzzling phenomenon, first noted by J. Evershed in 1909
(_Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc._ 69, 454-457; 1909), concerns the apparent violation of one of the basic laws of physics — conservation of mass. Spectroscopic observations of sunspots show a
flow of material streaming across the face of the spot, only to perform a mysterious vanishing act at its outer edge. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution
