Using an analytic model, we derive the eigenfrequencies for thermal Rossby waves that are trapped radially and latitudinally in an isentropically stratified atmosphere. We ignore the star's curvature and work in an equatorial f-plane…
We report our first results on comparing the variations of the solar internal rotation with solar activity, as predicted by non-linear solar dynamo modelling, with helioseismic measurements using the SOHO MDI data.
Retrograde Rossby waves, measured to have significant amplitudes in the Sun, likely have notable implications for various solar phenomena. Rossby waves create small-amplitude, very-low frequency motions (on the order of the rotation rate…
The Schwabe cycle of solar activity exhibits modulations and frequency fluctuations on slow time scales of centuries and millennia. Plausible physical explanations for the cause of these long-term variations of the solar cycle are still…

The evolution of the solar activity comprises, apart from the well-known 11-year cycle, various temporal scales ranging from months up to the secondary cycles known as mid-term oscillations. Its nature deserves a physical explanation. In…
The magnetic fields of solar-type stars are observed to cycle over decadal periods -11 years in the case of the Sun. The fields originate in the turbulent convective layers of stars and have a complex dependency upon stellar rotation rate.…
We present evidence that the allowed periods of equatorially trapped Rossby wave modes on the Sun coincide closely with the 88 day period and 176 day sub harmonic period of Mercury and evidence of Rossby waves on the Sun at the same…
We analyse the relation between the activity cycle length and the Rossby number and collected a sample of 44 main sequence stars with well-known activity cycle periods and rotation periods. We find a linear behaviour in the…
The recent discovery of inertial waves on the surface of the Sun offers new possibilities to learn about the solar interior. These waves are long-lived with a period on the order of the Sun rotation period ($\sim$27 days) and are sensitive…
Spectral analysis of the spatial structure of solar subphotospheric convection is carried out for subsurface flow maps constructed using the time--distance helioseismological technique. The source data are obtained from the Helioseismic and…
