Do active Regions Emerge in a Similar Regime? Valentyna Abramenko Big Bear Solar Observatory California, USA avi@bbso.njit.edu
Outlook • How the majority of active regions emerges • Peculiar emergence of an active region • Compare rates of an ordinary and peculiar ARs • Conclusion: suggestion on the dynamo action
How the majority of active regions emerge? • Dynamo generates the magnetic field near the bottom of the convective zone • The field emerges due to buoyancy (and???) during 2-4 months • Forming oriented active regions on the photosphere PICTURE of Omega –loop emergence
Example: ordinary emergence: AR NOAA 9574 Mag-my: fd
Next rotation: Magma FD 808 so strelochkoi
One more rotation: Magma /FD remains so strelochkoi

Conclusions: suggestion of the dynamo in the subphotospheric layers Y. Fun 2001:
Conclusions-2: suggestion of the dynamo in the subphotospheric layers Cattaneo & Emonet 2004: convection (left) in an electrically conducting fluid is capable of dynamo action and generates a highly intermittent magnetic field (right).
