Description
The rise of kink-unstable magnetic flux tubes through the solar convection zone is discussed with a view to explaining the subsurface origin of active regions. In spite of the advances and insights obtained by analytical and numerical means in the past decade(s), there are still important uncertainties as to the viability of a mechanism of this kind to explain the origin of sunspots and active regions. In this paper, the main features of the rise of kink unstable tubes and some open questions regarding this process are presented.

    TESS serves as a formidable tool for investigating stellar variability. Nonetheless, the adaptation of methodologies employed in other space missions, such as Kepler, to deduce long stellar rotation periods or solar-like stellar pulsations has been a challenge.

    Simulations of SKA observations of radio continuum and HI 21-cm line emission from M51 analogs
    Galactic gas contains atomic hydrogen (HI), which is crucial to numerous astrophysical phenomena. Studying the HI atomic gas in and around galaxies is very important to investigate the physical conditions under which massive star formation is quenched throughout cosmic time and to examine the feeding and feedback scenario in the conventional models

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas
