Abstract As a result of processing long (up to 144 h) series of sunspot magnetograms obtained on the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) spacecraft with the MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager) instrument it is shown that the mode with a period of 800–1300 min is a limiting low-frequency oscillation mode of the magnetic field of a sunspot as a whole. Its period is essentially and nonlinearly depends on the sunspot magnetic field strength. In addition to this mode, higher harmonics are also revealed in the sunspot oscillation spectra in the bands 40–45, 60–80, 135–170, 220–250, and 480–520 min. The oscillation power in these bands monotonically and rapidly decreases with increasing frequency, which is characteristic for overtones arising due to the nonlinear nature of oscillations. The limiting oscillation mode stably exists in sunspots for 1.5–2 days, which coincides with the average lifetime of a supergranular cell. The mode with the period of 35–48 h observed in the power spectrum is not an eigen mode of sunspots, because its period is independent of its magnetic field strength. Probably, it occurs as a quasiperiod of an external exciting force caused by disturbances from supergranular cells surrounding the sunspot.
