... The Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of "hibernation". Yesterday, on the first day of autumn, new sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun following an absence of almost 50 days. ... The first low lasted 51 days, from 21 July until 11 September last year. ... Now, almost a year later, it seems the Sun has hit a new low almost as "deep" as the first. ...

... The Sun is the closest star to us, and a regular object in our Galaxy. Solar activity manifests itself, primarily, in solar flares - episodic explosive energy release in the form of electromagnetic radiation and high energy particles (electrons and protons). The nature of the flares is related to cyclic variations of global and local magnetic fields in the atmosphere of the Sun. ... Such formations are called active regions. ...

... Because of the solar wind originating from the Sun , Earth is hit by a hot, magnetized, supersonic collisionless plasma carrying a large amount of kinetic and electrical energy. Some of this energy finds its way into our magnetosphere creating, e.g., geomagnetic activity which consists of . geomagnetic storms , . ... Res. ... Mursula, K. and B.

... Activities | ... Collaborations | ... The main objective of laboratory #235 is development of imaging array detectors for different applications (including radio-astronomy, safety and security systems). We develop ultra-sensitive detectors (bolometers) and detector arrays, planar antennas and tuning circuits, refractive and reflective quasi-optical systems focusing millimeter and sub-millimeter wave irradiation on the detectors. ...
