Models for the long-term variations of solar activity

BB Karak - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2023 - Springer
One obvious feature of the solar cycle is its variation from one cycle to another. In this article,
we review the dynamo models for the long-term variations of the solar cycle. By long-term …

Long-term modulation of solar cycles

A Biswas, BB Karak, I Usoskin, E Weisshaar - Space Science Reviews, 2023 - Springer
Solar activity has a cyclic nature with the≈ 11-year Schwabe cycle dominating its variability
on the interannual timescale. However, solar cycles are significantly modulated in length …

F Clette, L Lefèvre, T Chatzistergos, H Hayakawa… - Solar Physics, 2023 - Springer
We report progress on the ongoing recalibration of the Wolf sunspot number (SN) and group-
sunspot number (GN) following the release of version 2.0 of SN in 2015. This report …

The effect of stellar contamination on low-resolution transmission spectroscopy: needs identified by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Study Analysis Group 21

BV Rackham, N Espinoza… - RAS Techniques …, 2023 - academic.oup.com

Long-term changes in solar activity and irradiance

T Chatzistergos, NA Krivova, KL Yeo - Journal of Atmospheric and Solar …, 2023 - Elsevier
The Sun is the main energy source to Earth, and understanding its variability is of direct
relevance to climate studies. Measurements of total solar irradiance (TSI) exist since 1978 …

Multiproxy reconstructions of integral energy spectra for extreme solar particle events of 7176 BCE, 660 BCE, 775 CE, and 994 CE

S Koldobskiy, F Mekhaldi, G Kovaltsov… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Extreme solar particle events (ESPEs) are rare and the most potent known processes of
solar eruptive activity. During ESPEs, a vast amount of cosmogenic isotopes (CIs) 10Be …

Time lag between cosmic-ray and solar variability: Sunspot numbers and open solar magnetic flux

SA Koldobskiy, R Kähkönen, B Hofer, NA Krivova… - Solar Physics, 2022 - Springer
Solar magnetic activity drives the dominant 11-year cyclic variability of different space
environmental indices, but they can be delayed with respect to the original variations due to …

A Synchronized Two-Dimensional Model of the Solar Dynamo

M Klevs, F Stefani, L Jouve - Solar Physics, 2023 - Springer
We consider a conventional α–Ω-dynamo model with meridional circulation that exhibits
typical features of the solar dynamo, including a Hale-cycle period of around 20 years and a …

Rieger, Schwabe, Suess-de Vries: The sunny beats of resonance

F Stefani, GM Horstmann, M Klevs, G Mamatsashvili… - Solar Physics, 2024 - Springer
We propose a self-consistent explanation of Rieger-type periodicities, the Schwabe cycle,
and the Suess-de Vries cycle of the solar dynamo in terms of resonances of various wave …

Tree-rings reveal two strong solar proton events in 7176 and 5259 BCE

N Brehm, M Christl, TDJ Knowles, E Casanova… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
The Sun sporadically produces eruptive events leading to intense fluxes of solar energetic
particles (SEPs) that dramatically disrupt the near-Earth radiation environment. Such events …
