Solar energy cycle and its relation to geomagnetic activity

It is suggested that recurrent and nonrecurrent geomagnetic disturbances which are related to the release of solar magnetic energy in the form of unipolar and bipolar magnetic regions respectively, are connected with the variations in the solar energy source. The true beginning of the solar cycle takes place when unipolar magnetic regions start to develop, i.e, when nuclear energy generation becomes dominant over the neutrino energy loss according to the photon-neutrino coupling theory.     

Short-time variations of solar neutrinos and solar activity cycle

It is shown from the statistical analysis of the sunspot data and solar neutrino data that both the data exhibits 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 months period and these periods may be g-mode oscillation of the core associated with the solar activity.     

Solar neutrino flux,cosmic rays,and the solar activity cycle

It is suggested that the experimental data on the solar neutrino flux as measured by Davis and his collaborators from 1970 to 1982 vary with the solar activity cycle to a very high level of statistical significance for all the available tests of the hypothesis (e.g., (t-test, ²-test, run test, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test) when the solar neutrino flux data are computed from the weighted moving averages of order 5. The above tests have also been applied to the data that have been generated by the Monte Carlo simulation with production rate and background rate parameters that are typical of those in the actual experiment. It is shown that the Monte Carlo simulated data do not indicate a variation within the solar cycle. Thus the moving average data strongly favours the variation within the solar activity cycle.     

Some remarks on the universal X-ray background

It is shown that a universal steady X-ray background with the energy flux 10^–7 erg cm^–2 s^–1 sr^–1 can arise as a superposition of radiation from pulsars (neutron stars) in various galaxies when it is taken into account that supernova outburst occurs in a galaxy at the rate of 10^–2/year.     

Solar neutrino data and the 11-year solar activity cycle

Recent data on solar neutrino flux have been analysed and it is shown that there is a statistically significant variation of solar neutrino flux data with the solar activity cycle. Thus the observation suggests that the solar activity cycle is due to the pulsating characters of the nuclear energy generation in the interior of the Sun.     

The Sun,C12/C13 abundance ratio and neutrino emission

It is pointed out that the effect of neutrino emission process according to the photonneutrino coupling theory can be taken to interpret the observed ratio of C¹²/C¹³ abundance and other solar activities.     

Changes in solar rotation due to the solar energy generation cycle of 11 years

It is suggested that the observed differences in the periods of variation of some solar phenomena (solar brightness, appearance of sunspot maximum and interplanetary sector structure) occurring close to 27 days are due to differences in the rotation periods of the solar regions in which these phenomena are originated. Changes in periods during the solar cycle can be attributed to changes in the solar energy generation. On the basis of these considerations changes in the sign of the gradient of the Sun's angular velocity can be expected.     

Search for periodicities of the Solar Irradiance Data from Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) using Rayleigh Power Spectrum Analysis

The solar irradiance data plays a very important role for understanding of Solar internal Structure and the solar terrestrial relationships. The Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) is integrated solar energy flux over the entire spectrum which arrives at the top of the atmosphere at the mean sun earth distance. TSI has been monitored from several satellites, e.g. Nimbus 7, Solar Maximum Mission (SMM), The NASA, Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS), NOAA9, NOAA10, Eureca and the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) etc. From these observations it reveals that the total solar irradiance varies about a small fraction of 0.1 over solar cycle being higher during maximum solar activity condition. In the present paper we have analysed the solar irradiance data from ERBS during the time period from October 15, 1984 to October 15, 2003. First filtering the data by Simple Exponential Smoothing we have applied the Rayleigh Power Spectrum Analysis on the processed data in order to search for its time variation. Study exhibits multi-periodicities on these data around 7, 11, 42, 80, 104, 130, 160, 254, 536, 752, 1142, 1388, 2474 and 4951 days with very high confidence levels (more than 95%). Apart from these strong periods there are some other weak periods around 22, 47, 53, 67, 69, 149, 167, 365, 489 and 683 days. These periods are significantly similar with the periods of other solar activities which may suggest that solar irradiance may be associated with other solar activities.     

Irregular nebular variables and neutrino emission

The suggestion that the less massive star will reach the Main Sequence stage earlier than the massive star due to the effect of neutrino emission according to the photon-neutrino coupling theory is supported by the observed behaviour of H-R diagram of irregular nebular variables. After reaching the Main Sequence stage the star should pulsate with a period due to the effect of neutrino emission which may be a possible explanation of other properties of irregular nebular variables.
