The physical origin of this differential rotation is not fully understood. It turns out, long-period solar oscillations discovered in 2021 play a crucial role in controlling the Sun's rotational ...

"The source of this 'differential rotation' is an area of current research in solar astronomy." Moving from the sun's poles to its equator, the time in which this area of plasma rotates shortens.

One of the triumphs of helioseismology is to have mapped the Sun's rotation as a function of depth and latitude (the solar differential rotation). In addition to the 5-minute oscillations ...

Changes in differential rotation then cause changes in eruption patterns, their strength, and frequency. An artist's impression of a solar flare. It is differential rotation on a star's surface ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics have mapped the Sun's differential rotation using 100 years of data from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory. They discovered that the Sun's ...

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Sep 25 (IANS) Using 100 years of daily records of the Sun at the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory ... clear picture of the Sun's differential rotation -- faster at the ...

One of the triumphs of helioseismology is to have mapped the Sun's rotation as a function of depth and latitude (the solar differential rotation). In addition to the 5-minute oscillations ...

But unlike the earth, which has a rotation period of one day, the sun has a differential rotation ... behind this phenomenon is still a puzzle to solar physicists.
