Context.Ca bright grains are small and repetitive brightenings ubiquitously
found in the quiet Sun.Aims.The relationship between the formation of Ca bright grains and the dynamics in the
chromosphere and the photosphere is studied.Methods.We simultaneously observed the time series of spectra in Ca II H, Hα, and Fe I
with the horizontal spectrograph of the Domeless Solar Telescope (DST) at Hida Observatory.Results.Our wavelet analysis revealed that the occurrence of Ca II H
brightenings are
correlated with enhanced 5 mHz velocity oscillations in the chromosphere and the
photosphere.Conclusions.Ca bright grains can be explained by acoustic shocks in the chromosphere that are
associated with 5 mHz oscillations in the photosphere below.
