Triggering the birth of new cycle's sunspots by solar tsunami
When will a new cycle's sunspots appear? We demonstrate a novel physical mechanism, namely, that a "solar tsunami" occurring in the Sun's interior shear-fluid layer can trigger...- publication PDF

Data-optimized coronal field model. I. Proof of concept
Deriving the strength and direction of the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field in the solar atmosphere is fundamental for understanding its dynamics. Volume information on the...- publication PDF
