Recovery of the Solar Cycle from Maunder-like Grand Minima Episodes: A Quantification of the Necessary Polar Flux Threshold through Solar Dynamo Simulations

Chitradeep Saha, Sanghita Chandra, Dibyendu Nandy

The 11-yr cycle of sunspots undergo amplitude modulation over longer timescales. As a part of this long-term modulation in solar activity, the decennial rhythm occasionally breaks,…

On the origin of long-term modulation in the Sun's magnetic activity cycle

Chitradeep Saha, Suprabha Mukhopadhyay, Dibyendu Nandy

One of the most striking manifestations of orderly behavior emerging out of complex interactions in any astrophysical system is the 11-year cycle of sunspots. However, direct sunsp…

Understanding Grand Minima in Solar Activity: Confronting Observations with Dynamo Simulations

Chitradeep Saha, Dibyendu Nandy

The grand minimum in the Sun's activity is a distinctive mode characterized by a magnetic lull that almost completely lacks the emergence of sunspots on the solar surface for an ex…

Discovery of a relation between the decay rate of the Sun's magnetic dipole and the growth rate of the following sunspot cycle: a new precursor for solar cycle prediction

Priyansh Jaswal, Chitradeep Saha, Dibyendu Nandy

Sunspots have been observed for over four centuries and the magnetic nature of sunspot cycles has been known for about a century; however, some of its underlying physics still rema…

Exploring the Solar Poles: The Last Great Frontier of the Sun

Dibyendu Nandy, Dipankar Banerjee, Prantika Bhowmik +19

Despite investments in multiple space and ground-based solar observatories by the global community, the Sun's polar regions remain unchartered territory - the last great frontier f…

Evidence of persistence of weak magnetic cycles driven by meridional plasma flows during solar grand minima phases

Chitradeep Saha, Sanghita Chandra, Dibyendu Nandy

Long-term sunspot observations and solar activity reconstructions reveal that the Sun occasionally slips into quiescent phases known as solar grand minima, the dynamics during whic…
