Abstract
Every sunspot group is surrounded by regions of weaker magnetic field; traditionally those parts which appear in emission in resonance lines are called plages. There is a more extensive region of enhanced magnetic field which is not bright because the magnetic field is horizontal; this region is easily discernible by dark horizontal fibrils in Hα and is included in our discussion. The plage includes most of the magnetic field in an active center and is the locus of most of the flares.
