Description
The penumbra is an intriguing part of a sunspot where the coupling between magnetic field and plasma is characterized by peculiar physical conditions. Although it has been the focus of many observational and theoretical studies, the processes involved in the formation and decay of a sunspot penumbra are still not fully understood. I will give a brief summary of recent observations leading valuable contributions to better understanding these processes.
