The longer term evolution of magnetic field and mass flow in a decaying active region

Abstract

During September 24-29, 1987, the longitudinal magnetic fields of a decaying active region (AR 4855) were observed almost continuously at Big Bear and Huairou Solar Observatories. The target consisted of an αp sunspot and surrounding enhanced network. We achieved a 75-hour coverage with 4 night-time gaps of six to eight hours. The images were then combined to made a continuous movie.
