Descripción
Two time series, taken simultaneously in the G-band and the blue
continuum, corrected for instrumental and atmospheric degradation using
the method of phase diversity, are employed to study the motions of
granules and G-band bright points (GBPs) in the moat of an old regular
sunspot. Centres of diverging horizontal motions, identified with
families of granules formed by recurrently splitting granules, move away
from the sunspot. Most of GBPs show radially oriented motions in the
same direction, with velocities comparable to those of adjacent
granules. However, 7 % of GBPs move faster (>1.4 km s-1)
than the neighbouring granules.
