We found that a ~9-day periodicity is statistically highly significant in the variations of C-bar at the maximum of solar cycle 22. A similar periodicity is found in the variations of B-bar during the descending phase of the cycle 22 with significant on > 99.9% confidence level. At this cycle maximum, a 30-40 day periodicity is found to be dominant among the variations in B-bar, and this periodicity is found in A-bar during almost throughout the period 1986-1994.The ~9-day periodicity in the variation of the differential rotation approximately matches with the known quasi 10-day periodicity in the total solar irradiance (TSI) variability. Hence, we speculate that there exists a relationship between the differential rotation and TSI variability. We suggest that the 9-10 day periodicities of the differential rotation and TSI have a relationship with the production and the emergence rates of the large-scale solar magnetic flux.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-05-20T08:58:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "periodicity", "days periodicities", "mount wilson doppler velocity data", "solar differential rotation coefficients a-bar" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Advances in Space Research", "year": 2011, "month": "Sep", "volume": 48, "number": 6, "pages": 1032 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 900849, "adsabs": "2011AdSpR..48.1032J" } } }
