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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Daily solar observations gathered for years at the century-old Kodaikanal Solar Observatory have led to a breakthrough understanding of how the Sun’s magnetic activity varies across its latitudes — a ...

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 ...

Solar observers have been on a wild ride over the past decade, painstakingly trying to make sense of our yellow dwarf star’s increasingly puzzling sunspot cycles — or, rather, the lack of such cycles.

A previously unobserved mechanism is at work in the Sun's rotating plasma: a magnetic instability, which scientists had thought was physically impossible under these conditions. The effect might even ...
