High impact information on Solar Activity

• This cycle is similar to the documented 206-year period in records of cosmogenic nuclide production (carbon-14 and beryllium-10) that is thought to reflect variations in solar activity [1].
• Within their dating uncertainty, the two major cooling periods in the European Alps are coeval with substantial changes in the routing of North American freshwater runoff to the North Atlantic, whereas quantitatively, our climatic reconstructions show a poor agreement with available records of past solar activity [2].
• Sunspots, coronal plumes and coronal loops all appear to support slow modes [3].
• Outbreak in RA and SpA was not registered despite increased peak solar activity in 2000 [4].
• Viewing the frequency history of the high-quality quartz crystal oscillator onboard Milstar FLT-1 as a "space experiment," we have examined the response of the crystal to various solar flares that have occurred over the past 4 years [5].

Associations of Solar Activity with chemical compounds

• Beryllium-7 and solar activity [6].
• The combustion in the sublimation products containing also light organics and 2H2 + O2 explains unexpected energetics and nearnuclear chemistry of Comet P/Halley (e.g. great abundances of negative and positive ions, atomic carbon, CO over CO2, origin of CHON particles etc) and its distant outbursts correlated, possibly, with the Solar activity [7].

Gene context of Solar Activity

• The comparison analysis of the FOP with solar activity, solar wind conditions and geomagnetic activity shows that one half of the observed data failures are owing to noise originating mostly from electronic equipment on board MIR station [8].
• Solar particle events observed on MIR station [9].
• We studied 2001 foetuses during the period of minimal solar activity of solar cycle 21 and 2265 foetuses during the period of maximal solar activity of solar cycle 22, in all women aged 37 years and over who underwent free prenatal diagnosis in four hospitals in the greater Tel Aviv area [10].
• Solar particle events observed at Mars: dosimetry measurements and model calculations [11].
• Effects of solar flares on the ionosphere of Mars [12].
