Abstract

The use of integral characteristics of radio spots showed that in addition to the known 3–5-min oscillations, the above-spot regions of sunspots exhibit quasiperiodic oscillations of intensity, perimeter, sectional area, and area of the surface of the above-spot source radio image with periods in the ranges of 25–80, 90–110, 120–140, and 160–210 min. These periods are observed for all spots studied using the different characteristics of a radio source, which does not contradict the interpretation of these low-frequency oscillations as natural oscillations of spots near a certain position of stable equilibrium.
