... P1724 was monitored from MTSB on 17 nights over a six week period. ... Three field stars were used for comparison (see Figure 3 ). ... The preferred frequency is 1.18 rotations per day (a 0.85 day long period), but the power at this peak is not particularly stronger than the three other strong peaks. However, the 1.21 day period (0.826 rotations per day) is excluded by the nightly trend analysis. In this case, the trend of the data is opposite to the direction of the fit (see Figure 5 ). ...

The weather throughout this year was so extremely favorable that I have been able to observe the Sun clearly on 312 days; however, I counted only 34 groups of sunspots.. From my earlier observations, which I have reported every year in this journal, it appears that there is a certain periodicity in the appearance of sunspots and this theory seems more and more probable from the results of this year.. ... 244 . ... 149 . ...
