Properties of sunspots in cycle 23. I. Dependence of brightness on sunspot size and cycle phase
Aims:In this paper we investigate the dependence of umbral core brightness, as well as the mean umbral and penumbral brightness on the phase of the solar cycle and on the size of the sunspot. Methods: Albregtsen & Maltby (1978, Nature, 274, 41) reported an increase in umbral core brightness from the early to the late phase of solar cycle from the
