Convectively driven vortex flows in the Sun
J. A. Bonet, I. Marquez, J. Sanchez Almeida +2
We have discovered small whirlpools in the Sun, with a size similar to the terrestrial hurricanes (<~0.5 Mm). The theory of solar convection predicts them, but they had remained el…
The intensity contrast of solar photospheric faculae and network elements II. Evolution over the rising phase of solar cycle 23
Ada Ortiz, Vicente Domingo, Blai Sanahuja
We studied the radiative properties of small magnetic elements (active region faculae and the network) during the rising phase of solar cycle 23 from 1996 to 2001, determining thei…
On the intensity contrast of solar photospheric faculae and network elements
A. Ortiz, S. K. Solanki, V. Domingo +2
Sunspots, faculae and the magnetic network contribute to solar irradiance variations. The contribution due to faculae and the network is of basic importance, but suffers from consi…
