The suggestion that sunspot transition region oscillations are a typical feature of the sunspot plumes is examined. The present observations show 3 min oscillations in the umbra that end at the umbral rim. We find that sunspot plumes located above the umbra show these oscillations, in contrast to plumes above the penumbra. These two findings suggest that the oscillations may be a property of the umbral transition region.
Key words: Sun: oscillations / Sun: transition region / EUV radiation / sunspots
