Comparison of Magnetic Properties and Shadow Area of Leading and Trailing Spots with Different Asymmetries.

The magnetic properties of the shadow of magnetic-related leading and trailing spots (those connected by forces lines of magnetic field, which are calculated from a field in potential approximation) are studied in this work. The correlations are established between individual characteristics of the field in the spot shadow and these characteristics from the shadow area <italic>S</italic> for spot pairs, for which the minimum angle between the measured vector of magnetic induction <bold>B</bold> in the shadow of the leading (L) spot and positive normal to the solar surface is lower than in the trailing (F) spot (αmin-L < αmin-F) and, vice versa, when αmin-L > αmin-F. It is shown that the αmin-L(<italic>S</italic>L), αmin-F(<italic>S</italic>F), Bmax-L(<italic>S</italic>L) and Bmax-F(<italic>S</italic>F) correlations are similar behaviorally and quantitatively for two groups of spots with different asymmetries of a magnetically connected field (<italic>B</italic>max-L, F is the maximum of magnetic induction in the shadow of leading and trailing spots). The correlation between the average angles within the spot shadow 〈αL, F〉 and the area of the spot shadow <italic>S</italic>L, F and between the average value of magnetic induction in the spot shadow 〈<italic>B</italic>L, F〉 differ in two cases. In most studied spot pairs, the leading spot is closer to the dividing line of polarity between the spots rather than the trailing one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
