Variation in solar activity over the 11 year cycle

 
 
 
 
 

This summer I'm studying at Montana State University on the Solar REU Program

I'm working on a project with Dr. Piet Martens and Dr. Dibyendu Nandi on a project modelling stellar dynamos.

Solar and stellar activity cycles

from one solar maximum (1991, left) to the next solar minimum (1995, right).
