Long Term Datasets for the Understanding of Solar and Stellar - Magnetic Cycles Iau S340

IAU Symposium 340 addresses the latest discoveries from long-term datasets for the understanding of solar and stellar magnetic cycles.

List of contents

1. Helio/asteroseismology long-term data: solar/stellar interior velocity fields: status, divergence, and challenges; 2. Long-term magnetic field measurements in the Sun and stars; 3. Sunspot number datasets: Status, divergences, and unification; 4. Solar total irradiance and spectral irradiance long-term data: status, divergences, and challenges; 5. Solar cycle database of solar activity: variations in solar eruptions; 6. Long-term monitoring of stellar activity: lessons for the solar cycle; 7. The variable solar wind and the heliosphere; 8. Solar behavior over centuries using radioisotopes; 9. Physical causes of the solar/stellar cycle irregularities; 10. From past to future: predicting upcoming solar cycle 25.

Summary

The Sun is our nearest star; it is a dynamic star, which changes with time. The periodic variations in the total solar output radiation impacts Earth's atmosphere and climate. IAU S340 discusses the importantance of studying the long-term variation of the Sun and its activity using continuous observations over centuries.
