The Extended Solar Cycle: Muddying the Waters of Solar/Stellar Dynamo Modeling or Providing Crucial Observational Constraints?

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018
In 1844 Schwabe discovered that the number of sunspots increased and decreased over a period of about 11 years, that variation became known as the sunspot cycle.

Observational characteristics of oscillations and waves in and around sunspots. Difficulties in observing and interpreting

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics
This paper summarizes the body of work that we have done over the years on the oscillation processes in sunspots, including their umbra, penumbra, and close vicinity.

The magnetic origin of the outer boundaries of sunspots

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Sunspot boundaries are commonly outlined by contours of the continuum intensity. However, their magnetic nature has not yet been fully characterised. Aims.

Deciphering transmission spectra by exploring the solar paradigm

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Aims. Transmission spectroscopy allows to measure the wavelength dependence of the transit signal of an exoplanet, thus enabling probing of its atmospheric composition.

Science development study for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST): Solar and stellar observations

open access: yesOpen Research Europe
Observations at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths offer a complementary perspective on our Sun and other stars, offering significant insights into both the thermal and magnetic composition of their chromospheres.

Observations of the Formation of a Proto-Spot in a Pre-Existing Field Environment

open access: yesUniverse
Bipolar emerging flux regions (EFRs) form active regions (ARs) that generally evolve into a pre-existing magnetic environment in the solar atmosphere. Reconfiguration of the small- and large-scale magnetic connectivities is invoked to explain a plethora ...

Solar Surface Magneto-Convection

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Solar Physics, 2012
We review the properties of solar magneto-convection in the top half of the convection zones scale heights (from 20 Mm below the visible surface to the surface, and then through the photosphere to the temperature minimum).

Where are Sunspots? The Practical Method of Galileo as an example of Mental Model

open access: yesZagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2019
After the publication of Sidereus Nuncius, in the controversy with Ch. Scheiner, Galileo developed several arguments on behalf of the hypothesis that sunspots are contiguous to the surface of the Sun, and presented them in his Istoria e dimostrazioni ...
