Helioseismology provides us with the tools to probe solar activity. So that we can consider how the solar oscillations are influenced by that activity, we first consider the phenomena that we associate with the active Sun. The surface of the Sun is not quiet but shows evidence of convection on a wide range of scales from a few hundred kilometres through to several tens-of-thousands of kilometres. The surface temperature shows signs of the convection structures with the temperature in the bright granules being some 100 K to 200 K hotter than the surrounding dark lanes. Sunspots, which are regions of high magnetic field that suppress convective flows, are clearly visible to even quite crude observations. They are several tens-of-thousands of kilometres in diameter and about 2000 K cooler than their surroundings. Ultraviolet and X-ray pictures from satellites show that the higher layers of the solar atmosphere are very non-uniform with bright regions of high activity. Contemporaneous magnetograms show that these regions are associated with sunspots. Flares - regions of magnetic reconnections - are seen at all wavelengths from X-ray through the visible to radio. They are the non-thermal component of the radio emission of the Sun. There are many other indicators of activity on the Sun.

A graphical representation of the 66 solar rotations (Carrington) between January 1, 1962 and December 31, 1966 has been prepared. It includes all centers of activity for which the calcium plage attained an area of at least 1000 millionths of the solar hemisphere and/or intensity 3 (McMath scale). In this study the antecedents, descendents, and neighbors of each region can easily be discerned. The work shows clearly that zones of activity, apparently closely related and much larger than single plages existed for long intervals of time. For example, the significant increases in solar activity in February, May, and October of 1965 occurred in a ‘family’ of calcium plages apparently related through similarities of position and strong radio emission.The members of ‘families’ of centers of activity are found at systematically changing longitudes. For some ‘families’ the change of longitude appears to be primarily a consequence of differential rotation; for others, the pattern of formation of active centers dominates.According to the data for 1962–66 a meaningful study of the development of a center of activity may require consideration not only of the past history of the zone of the Sun in which it occurs but also of the zone approximately 180° away on the opposite hemisphere.

The aim of the study was to identify and evaluate the relationship between the indicators of solar activity, the content of magnesium in the blood and the level of oxygen utilization by tissues in men with different temperaments and anxiety, suffering from arterial hypertension. During the period of the study from 1995 to 2015, sick and healthy men were divided into equal groups with a predominance of choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic temperament with high and low anxiety. The average annual values of the Wolf numbers, the radio emission of the Sun at a wavelength of 10,7 cm, atmospheric pressure, gamma background and air temperature were taken into account, and the content of magnesium and hemoglobin in the blood serum was determined. The oxygen concentration was determined by the calculated method. A statistically significant direct correlation has been established between the increase in solar activity (Wolf numbers, radio emission flux at a wavelength of 10.7 cm), on the one hand, and atmospheric pressure, air temperature, and the gamma background of the environment, on the other. Under the same environmental conditions, the content of magnesium in the blood and the level of oxygen utilization by the body tissues of patients with arterial hypertension decreased in the temperamental range from high- and low-anxiety sympathotonics (choleric and sanguine) to parasympathotonics (high- and low-anxiety phlegmatic and melancholic). During the study period, a statistically significant relationship was established between an increase in solar activity (Wolf numbers, radio emission flux), atmospheric pressure, air temperature, and gamma background, on the one hand, and a decrease in the content of magnesium in the blood, as well as the level of oxygen utilization by tissues in healthy high- and low-anxiety individuals and patients with arterial hypertension, regardless of temperament.

Systematic daily observations of solar radio emission were started at the Fort Skała Observatory on 1st October 1957. The observations were made at the frequency of 810 MHz first with a 5m radio telescope - and since 1964 with a 7m one; at present they comprise already almost 70 thousand hours of observations (Michalec 1991). During that period there were two longer interruptions in the observations: from 23 September 1963 to 2 February 1964 - due to transferring the radio telescope’s antenna from the top of the Fort to a new site, and from 6 November 1973 to 11 March 1974 - connected with the reconstruction of the receiver. Other, fortunately short, interruptions in the course of observations had no influence on the homogeneity of the series.

During the period of high solar activity (1988-1990) the Sayan and Baikal Observatories of the ISTP carried out observations of the chromosphere in the H-alpha line, the photosphere and of sunspot magnetic fields; at the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope, solar radio emission observations at 5.2 cm wavelength were made. Using those observations a study is made of the evolution of “centers of magnetic activity” (Bumba, 1986) in nine active regions with different flare productivity, for which the most complete observations were available. In three cases (NOAA Nos. 5229, 5643 and 5669) they were the targets of the cooperative international Max’91 program.

Beginning in summer 1957, W. N. Christiansen and D. S. Mathewson [1] have regularly obtained two-dimensional radioheliograms at λ = 21 cm with a resolving power of 3 minutes of arc. The authors have already noticed the close connection between the regions of radio emission on the one side and the fields of spots and faculae on the other side. Considering, however, that the radio emission at the wavelength involved emerges from heights of 20,000 to 50,000, or even up to 100,000 km above the photosphere, i.e. from the inner corona, it seems to be more suitable to compare the radioheliograms with the optical emission of the corona than with the photospheric and chromospheric phenomena. Yet, as the coronal observations can be carried out at the solar limb only, it is difficult to get optical pictures of the corona in front of the sun's disk. Such a picture has to be built up from the daily limb-observations covering the period from 7 days before to 7 days after the date in question; e.g. the coronal intensities shown along the central meridian are measured 7 days before at the E-limb or 7 days later at the W-limb. Since the corona may change greatly within a few days—especially during the present high solar activity—the reliability of an optical corona-picture diminishes from the limb to the central meridian. In addition, a further uncertainty has to be considered in constructing coronal maps, in so far as no station possesses complete coronal observations; therefore, observations of different stations have to be used, which are very difficult to reduce to each other. The main difficulty of such a reduction arises from the fact that the single stations carry out their observations at different distances from the sun's limb ranging from 20,000 to 45,000 km. The coronagrams discussed in the following are based on the intensities of the green coronal line 5303 Å as published in the Quarterly Bulletin on Solar Activity [2].

AbstractHere we derive a formulation connecting the observed variations of the solar diameter to the heliophysics of the photosphere, in particular in connection to the granulation pattern and morphology. The results from the measurements are next used to correlate the variations of the semi-diameter and of estimators of the solar activity along the solar cycle 23. The values obtained strongly support a broader physical description of the photosphere, intertwining the diameter variations with the irradiance, the sunspots, the 10.7 cm radio emission, and to a lesser degree with the integrated magnetic field and with the flares count.

Observations of the galactic radio emission at 1 �6 MHz have been made during the current solar activity minimum using a radio telescope with a beam width of 25�. The radiation intensity was mapped for six declinations between _12� and _72� and from 1000 to 0500 hours R.A.
