... Precisely one month ago, on 11 July 2009, the last active area of the new solar cycle disappeared from the surface of the Sun. Over the 30 days following this, neither observers on Earth nor devices in space have been able to detect the emergence of any sunspots. ... Therefore, it seems that our star has once again returned to a state of deep solar "winter", following several sparks of activity in May-June 2009. ... To date, this period has lasted 30 days. ...

... A latitude characteristic has been found that demonstrates in a particular time interval in the fourth year after the maximum of the current 11-year cycle a high correlation with the Wolf number at the maximum of the next cycle. ... We found that, in each cycle, the fourth year after the Wolf-number maximum (vertical dashed lines) falls close to the epoch of the change in sign of the velocity of the mean latitude (VLA) of the sunspot zone (middle graph in Fig. ...

USA Solar Mission . Courtesy of NASA's National Space Science Data Center . The Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) was designed to provide coordinated observations of solar activity, in particular solar flares, during a period of maximum solar activity. ... Complementary studies were made as part of the SMM guest investigator program, and coordinated in situ measurements of flare particle emissions were made from the ISEE 3 spacecraft. The spacecraft was launched on February 14, 1980. ...

Peremennye Zvezdy ( Variable Stars ) 32 , No. ... We report on a new episode of decretion disk formation in the IGR J06074+2205 system. ... From a study of three HeI lines, the rotational velocity of the star was determined as km/s. After five years of spectroscopic monitoring of IGR J06074+2205 (Reig et al. 2010), a reversion from emission to absorption of the H line and hence disappearance of the equatorial disk was reported. ...

Next: Do Starburst galaxies Up: THE SEYFERT - Previous: Introduction . Norris et al. (1988) and Roy et al.

This suggests that the bolometric luminosity of Seyfert galaxies may be dominated by star formation. ...
