Theory of Solar Luminosity Variations
نویسنده
چکیده
The theory of stellar structure can be used to identify the most plausible mechanisms for the irradiance variations associated with the solar cycle. Changes in surface emissivity, i.e. the reduced cooling in spots and enhanced emission by small scale magnetic fields, are the most effective mechanisms and account for most of the observed variation. Helioseismology will soon be able to test the consequences of changes in surface emissivity, and distinguish them from other scenarios for irradiance variability.

Solar gravitational energy and luminosity variations
Due to non-homogeneous mass distribution and non-uniform velocity rate inside the Sun, the solar outer shape is distorted in latitude. In this paper, we analyze the consequences of a temporal change in this figure on the luminosity. To do so, we use the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) as an indicator of luminosity. Considering that most of the authors have explained the largest part of the TSI mod...
متن کاملStellar luminosity variations and global warming.
Recent studies indicate that variation in the sun's luminosity is less than that observed in many other stars of similar magnetic activity. Current findings also indicate that in more active stars, the attenuation by faculae of sunspot luminosity modulation is less effective than in the sun at present. The sun could thus become photometrically more variable (and dimmer) if its magnetic activity...
متن کاملFractional order Adaptive Terminal Sliding Mode Controller Design for MPPT in a Solar Cell under Normal and Partial Shading Condition
In this paper, by combining fractional calculus and sliding mode control theory, a new fractional order adaptive terminal sliding mode controller is proposed for the maximum power point tracking in a solar cell. To find the maximum power point, the incremental conductance method has been used. First, a fractional order terminal sliding mode controller is designed in which the control law depend...
متن کاملSolar resonant diffusion waves as a driver of terrestrial climate change
A theory is described based on resonant thermal diffusion waves in the sun that explains many details of the paleotemperature record for the last 5.3 million years. These include the observed periodicities, the relative strengths of each observed cycle, and the sudden emergence in time for the 100 thousand year cycle. Other prior work suggesting a link between terrestrial paleoclimate and solar...
متن کاملA systematic analysis of X-ray variability of dM stars
We have systematically analyzed X-ray variability of dM stars. Our data base is the sample of all dM stars listed in the CNS3 (Gliese & Jahreiss 1991) catalog which have been observed with the ROSAT PSPC. Our data sample includes 86 pointed observations of 55 distinct stars or multiple systems. A large fraction of stars shows significant variations, regardless of their quiescent flux. Variabili...
