QUASI-PERIODIC PULSATIONS IN SOLAR AND STELLAR FLARES. REVIEW
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2020, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the-art studies of oscillatory processes in solar and stellar flares, based on modern observational data from ground-based and space-borne instruments with high temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. We examine the mecha-nisms that generate flare emission and its quasi-periodic modulation. We discuss similarities and differences be-tween solar and stellar flares, and address associated problems of superflares on the Sun and space weather. Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) of flare emission are shown to be an effective tool for diagnosing both the flare processes themselves and the parameters of flaring plasmas and accelerated particles. We consider types of QPPs, their statistical properties, and methods of analysis, taking into account the non-stationarity of the QPPs’ parameters. We review the proposed mechanisms of QPPs and summarize open questions.

Hysteresis phenomena in the response of geomagnetic activity and cosmic ray parameters to variations in the interplanetary medium during a magnetic storm
The dynamics of the intensity of cosmic rays is known to be different on the ascending and descending branches of the 11-year solar cycle, i.e., hysteresis phenomena are observed. Recently, it has been obtained that at s...
Large-scale relationships of the geomagnetic indices SYM-H and ASY-H with the north-south IMF component and the solar wind beta parameter
Using annual average values, the relationships are examined of the geomagnetic indices SYM-H, ASY-H, and Dst with solar wind parameters in 1981–2015. The data used was divided into two samples according to the sign of th...
