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

Deciphering solar magnetic activity: The (solar) hale cycle terminator of 2021
We previously identified an event in the solar timeline that appeared to play a role in how sunspot Cycle 23 (SC23) transitioned into sunspot Cycle 24 (SC24). The timeframe for...- publication PDF
