abstract = "Advances in solar instrumentation have led to widespread use of
time series to study the dynamics of solar features, especially at
small spatial scales and at very fast cadences. Physical processes
at such scales are important as building blocks for many other
processes occurring from the lower to the upper layers of the
solar atmosphere and beyond, ultimately for understanding the
larger picture of solar activity. Ground-based (Swedish Solar
Telescope) and space-borne (Hinode) high-resolution solar data are
analyzed in a quiet-Sun region that displays negative-polarity
small-scale magnetic concentrations and a cluster of bright points
observed in G-band. The region is characterized by two
granular-sized convective vortex-type plasma motions, one of which
appears to be affecting the dynamics of magnetic features and
bright points in its vicinity and is therefore the main target of
our investigations. We followed the evolution of the bright
points, intensity variations at different atmospheric height, and
the magnetic evolution for a set of interesting selected regions.
We describe the evolution of the photospheric plasma motions in
the region near the convective vortex and some plausible cases for
convective collapse detected in Stokes profiles.",
