Comoving frames and active longitudes: Does the Sun have face?
Context. Using Greenwich sunspot data for 120 years it was recently observed that activity regions on the Sun’s surface tend to lie along smoothly changing longitude strips 180◦apart from each other. After critique of the original paper, the new arguments were found to substantiate the claim. Aims. In this paper we analyse new arguments in some detail. Methods. To check basic arguments about pe...
متن کاملPreferred sunspot longitudes: Non-axisymmetry and differential rotation
As recently found, the distribution of sunspots is non-axisymmetric and spot group formation implies the existence of two persistent active longitudes separated by 180◦. Here we quantitatively study the non-axisymmetry of sunspot occurrence. In a dynamic reference frame inferred from the differential rotation law, the raw sunspot data show a clear clustering around the persistent active longitu...
متن کاملAstrometric Jitter of the Sun as a Star
The daily variation of the solar photocenter over some 11 years is derived from the Mount Wilson data reprocessed by Ulrich et al. 2010 to closely match the surface distribution of solar irradiance. The standard deviations of astrometric jitter are 0.52 μAU and 0.39 μAU in the equatorial and the axial dimensions, respectively. The overall dispersion is strongly correlated with the solar cycle, ...
متن کاملSun - as - a - Star Spectrum Variations 1974 - 2006
We have observed selected Fraunhofer lines, both integrated over the Full Disk and for a small circular region near the center of the solar disk, on 1215 days for the past 30 years. Full Disk results: Chromosphere: Ca II K 3933Å nicely tracks the 11 year magnetic cycle based on sunspot number with a peak amplitude in central intensity of ∼37%. The wavelength of the mid-line core absorption feat...
متن کاملConnection between Active Longitudes and Magnetic Helicity
A two-dimensional mean field dynamo model is solved where magnetic helicity conservation is fully included. The model has a negative radial velocity gradient giving rise to equatorward migration of magnetic activity patterns. In addition the model develops longitudinal variability with activity patches travelling in longitude. These patches may be associated with active longitudes.
