RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBERS Description of Data from SGD Explanation of Data Reports: Relative Sunspot Numbers -- The relative sunspot number is an index of the activity of the entire visible disk of the Sun. ... The provisional daily Zurich relative sunspot numbers, Rz, were based upon observations made at Zurich and its two branch stations in Arosa and Locarno and communicated by M. Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...

... The main periodicity in the Sun 's activity is the 11-year cycle called the solar cycle. ... During the cycle, changes occur in the Sun's internal magnetic field and in the surface disturbance level. ... At the beginning of a cycle the solar magnetic field resembles a dipole which axis is aligned with Sun's rotation axis. ... The sunspot number - and Sun's activity - is at maximum in the middle of a cycle, when the Sun's internal magnetic field is most chaotic. ... Space Physics Text Book of Oulu ...

... The numbers of three types of compact binaries containing accreting NSs and BHs, which are most interesting from the point of view of their observational appearances, have been calculated as a function of time: i) X-ray transient source containing a NS in an eccentric orbit around a main sequence Be-star (the observed prototype: A0535+26), ii) BH The evolution of the selected types of X-ray binaries during the first 10 million years after the starburst onset is presented in Fig. ...

Session 9 - The Hubble Deep Field. ... The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) experiment is a unique project to explore at unprecedented depth and angular resolution the faintest and most distant galaxies. ... This allows study of broad-band spectral energy distribution, morphology and number count statistics for galaxies that span the largest, if not the whole, time interval of galaxy history. ... Here we present preliminary number counts, color-magnitude and color-color diagrams for the 4 HDF frames. ...

Extended time series of Solar Activity Indices (ESAI) is database including observational, synthetic and simulated sets to study Solar magnetic field variations and their influence on the Earth. ESAI extend the ordinary lengths of some traditional indices of solar activity: sunspot areas, Wolf numbers (equatorial component of magnetic field of the Sun), polar faculae numbers (polar component), mean latitudes, N-S asymmetry of hemispheres (location of activity). Series . ...

... A Backward Sunspot and the New Solar Cycle . ... Credit: MDI , SOHO , ESA , NASA Explanation: Why is sunspot 905 backwards? Perhaps it is a key marker for the beginning of a new magnetic cycle on our Sun . Every 11 years, our Sun goes through a magnetic cycle , at the end of which its overall magnetic orientation is reversed. ... Just now, the Sun is near Solar Minimum , and likely to start a long progression toward the most active time, called Solar Maximum , in about 5.5 years. ...
