Description
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 at the bottom of the solar convection zone. The combination of a threshold in field strength for dynamo action and random fluctuations due to magnetic fields from the turbulent convection zone leads to activity cycles with strong amplitude variations and the occasional appearance of grand minima.

    The abundance of galaxy clusters with mass and redshift is a wellknown cosmological probe. The cluster mass is a key parameter for studies that aim to constrain cosmological parameters using galaxy clusters, making it critical to understand and properly account for the errors in its estimates. Subsequently, it becomes important to correctly
