Abstract:	Sunspots are locations on the Sun where unique atmospheric conditions prevail. In particular, the very low temperatures found above sunspots allow the emission of H2 lines. In this study we are interested in the radiation emitted by sunspots in the OVI lines at 1031.96 Å and 1037.60 Å. We use SOHO/SUMER observations of a sunspot performed in March 1999 and investigate the interaction between the OVI lines and a H2 line at 1031.87 Å found in the Werner band. The unique features of sunspots atmospheres may very well have important implications regarding the illumination of coronal O+5 ions in the low corona, affecting our interpretation of Doppler dimming diagnostics.
