Session III Solar and stellar cycles and variability on century timescale

چکیده
Observational data concerning the long-term history of cyclic solar activity as recorded in sunspot and isotopic data are discussed in the context of solar dynamo theory. In particular, a simple dynamo model based on differential rotation and the mirror asymmetry of convection with random fluctuations of dynamo governing parameters is shown to reproduce some basic features of the solar magnetic activity evolution.

Stellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملSpace Climate and the Solar-Stellar Connection: What can we Learn from the Stars about Long-Term Solar Variability
While it is well-known that solar variability influences the near-Earth Space environment at short timescales of days – an effect collectively termed as Space Weather, a more subtle influence of solar variability at longer timescales is also present and just beginning to be appreciated. Long-term solar forcing and its consequences – which has come to be known as Space Climate – has important co...
متن کاملSun-like Magnetic Cycles in the Rapidly Rotating Young Solar Analog Hd 30495
A growing body of evidence suggests that multiple dynamo mechanisms can drive magnetic variability on different timescales, not only in the Sun but also in other stars. Many solar activity proxies exhibit a quasi-biennial (∼2 year) variation, which is superimposed upon the dominant 11 year cycle. A well-characterized stellar sample suggests at least two different relationships between rotation ...
متن کاملCycles and trends in solar irradiance and climate
How—indeed whether—the Sun’s variable energy outputs influence Earth’s climate has engaged scientific curiosity for more than a century. Early evidence accrued from correlations of assorted solar and climate indices, and from recognition that cycles near 11, 88 and 205 years are common in both the Sun and climate.1,2 But until recently, an influence of solar variability on climate, whether thro...
متن کاملVariations of the solar cycle profile in a solar dynamo with fluctuating dynamo governing parameters
Context. Solar cycles vary in their amplitude and shape. There are several empirical relations between various parameters linking cycle’s shape and amplitude, in particular the Waldmeier relations. Aims. As solar cycle is believed to be a result of the solar dynamo action, these relations require explanation in the framework of this theory. Here we aim to present a possible explanation of such ...
