Solar magnetism is a fundamental driver of dynamic phenomena on the Sun, manifesting in cyclic variations such as sunspot activity, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Central to this process is the ...

"We show that isolated perturbations near the sun's surface, far from the deeper layers, can grow over time to potentially produce the magnetic structures we see." When you purchase through links on ...

Researchers at CU Boulder have discovered hints that humanity’s favorite star may have a dual personality, with intriguing discrepancies in its magnetic fields that could hold clues to the sun’s own ...

The cover article in the scientific journal Nature published today — co-authored by Bates Associate Professor of Physics Jeffrey Oishi — upends decades-old beliefs about the sun and solar phenomena ...

The Sun's recent anomalous behavior, including an extended solar minimum and reduced sunspot activity, poses questions about its "normality" for a G2 spectral type star and challenges current ...

A team of solar scientists have uncovered the possible originals of the engine that drives much of the sun’s volatile nature—generating the sunspots that move like storm clouds over the surface and ...

NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has made the most comprehensive-ever observations of another sun-like star’s internal dynamo, say researchers. Observations of the star HD 173701 are being hailed by the ...
