Astrophysical: Solar activity

  • Project
    Helio and Astero-Seismology and Exoplanets Search
    The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars (either...

    Instability and eruption of magnetic flux tubes in the solar convection zone
    We present a consistent model of storage, instability and dynamical eruption of magnetic flux tubes in the solar convection zone and underlying overshoot region...

    Long-term Spatial and Temporal Variations of Aurora Borealis Events in the Period 1700 - 1905
    Catalogues and other records of aurora-borealis events were used to study the long-term spatial and temporal variation of these phenomena in the period from...
  • Publication
    Long-Term Trends and Gleissberg Cycles in Aurora Borealis Records (1600 - 2015)
    The long-term spatial and temporal variation of aurora borealis events from 1600 to the present were studied using catalogues and other records of these...
  • Publication
    Long-term Variation of Solar Activity by a Dynamo Based on Magnetic Flux Tubes
    We show that cyclic activity and Maunder-type grand minima can be explained by a dynamo driven by the instability of magnetic flux tubes in the overshoot layer...
  • Talk
    Magnetic bright points in the quiet Sun
    We present a visual determination of the number of bright points (BPs) existing in the quiet Sun, which are structures though to trace intense kG magnetic...

    Modeling of integrated sunlight velocity measurements: The effect of surface darkening by magnetic fields
    It has been known since the work by Claverie et al. (1982) that integrated-sunlight velocities measured with the resonance scattering technique show variations...
  • Talk
    Mysteries of the magnetic Sun
    The Sun presents us with many unsolved mysteries. In this talk I discuss three of them that have intrigued me for the last 50 years. Solar flares are the most...
