Active regions (ARs) are the main sources of variety in solar dynamic events. Automated detection and identification tools need to be developed for solar features for a deeper understanding of the solar cycle. Of particular interest here…

We studied the low-frequency $\lesssim 0.5\;$h$^{-1}$ (long-period $\gtrsim 2\;$h) oscillations of active regions (ARs). The investigation is based on an analysis of a time series built from Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and…
