Default bright rings around sunspots

adding sci.astro. maybe they'll see a real question in all the current
noise...

Is there an acceptable theory as to their origin. Why they are in pairs-
why so much radio interference- Why the spots are dark. Does the suns

energy
output remain the same when there are many.
My thoughts are the rings could be interface of photon rings with the

suns
surface. This would possibly explain their dark centres and radiomagnetic
interference. On some sun images, on the edge of the disk, there appear

to
be domes of matter which I presume could be the edge -disk of photon
spheres.
Wild thoughts yes. It would mean several moving black holes or
densities on the sun. Perhaps it would mean the sun could virtually

switch
off on occasion.
I suppose a simple check would be to check the gravitational

lensing
effect over the domes.

They are caused by loops of magnetic field which break the sun's surface, so
there has to be a pair; an "in" and an "out".

why so much radio interference-


Electromagnetic fields, that is.

Why the spots are dark.


They are only dark relative to the rest of the surface, and that's because
they are cooler.

Does the suns
energy
output remain the same when there are many.

Thanks- interesting the energy output remaining the same with high sunspot
activity or even a slight increase re recent reading.
