Convection and the origin of Evershed flows in sunspot penumbrae
G. B. Scharmer, A. Nordlund, T. Heinemann
We discuss a numerical 3D radiation-MHD simulation of penumbral fine structure in a small sunspot. This simulation shows the development of short filamentary structures with horizo…

Line formation in solar granulation: I. Fe line shapes, shifts and asymmetries
M. Asplund, AA. Nordlund, R. Trampedach +2
Realistic ab-initio 3D, radiative-hydrodynamical convection simulations of the solar granulation have been applied to FeI and FeII line formation. In contrast to classical analyses…

The effects of numerical resolution on hydrodynamical surface convection simulations and spectral line formation
M. Asplund, H. -G. Ludwig, AA. Nordlund +1
The computationally demanding nature of radiative-hydrodynamical simulations of stellar surface convection warrants an investigation of the sensitivity of the convective structure…
