Localised solutions in magnetoconvection

Within the dark central umbra of sunspots we can observe localised bright convective features, called umbral dots. It is believed that sunspots, and therefore umbral dots, are formed by the interactions between convection and strong magnetic fields. Numerically, localised convective features have be...
