Original abstract
Sunspot oscillations probe magnetic-plasma interactions in the solar atmosphere. We investigate oscillation periods in six sunspot active regions observed in the 8-10 um band with the Accurate Infra-red Magnetic-field Solar Telescope (AIMS) at Lenghu Observatory. Light curves were extracted from umbra, penumbra, and quiet Sun regions. Wavelet analysis was applied using four methods: pixel-wise with mean/median aggregation, and spatial mean/median prior to analysis. The weighted mean period is more physically meaningful than the dominant period, better representing multi-mode oscillations. A consistent period sequence holds across all datasets: umbra (U) < penumbra (P) < quiet Sun (Q), with typical values of 260-313 s, 286-374 s, and 294-382 s. This pattern is recovered with 100% consistency by pixel-wise mean/median and spatial median methods. Spatial mean shows 1/6 full, 3/6 partial, and 2/6 inconsistency. Spatial smoothing increases periods by up to 21%, most strongly in the umbra. All peak ratios are below 0.3 (mean 0.14 +/- 0.03), confirming multi-mode oscillations. These results establish the 8-10 um band as a valuable diagnostic window for sunspot magneto-convection and wave propagation.
