Minimum of Solar Cycle # 23 and beginning of Solar Cycle#24 Florian Nichitiu, UofT, may May 2008 At present, Sun seems to have a long period of very low activity and this can rise the question of how special is Solar Cycle #23 comparing with other cycles. From the point of view of length and duration of different phases of the solar cycle, the present one, the SC#23, seems to be similar to all previous. On the other hand, solar indexes connected to UV emission, seems to indicate a higher than expected solar (UV) activity.

The value of length of the Solar Cycle seems to have no trend, but their variations,the cycle to cycle total cycle lengths, are reducing. The SC#24 will not have probably an anomalous length.

It is also observed some opposite trends for the length of the two phases of solar cycle: the ‘Rise to Max’ length of the solar cycle is decreasing while the ‘Fall to Min’ of the solar cycles is increasing

Taking into account that the last minimum (of SolCycle#22-SolCycle#23) was around and the expected ‘Rise to Max’ length of SolCycle#23 is around 4 years, the max of SolCycle#23 was around middle of year 2000 which is practically coincident with the first max recorded (in the table below we have used different solar indices to find out the time of the two maxims and the Gnevyshev gap). Max 1 Gnevyshev min Max 2 SSN Sun Spot Number MgII Core-to-wing Mg II index F Solar Radio Flux 10.7 cm. SSAtot Solar Spot Area With an expected years for the descending phase of SC#23 and if we take as correct solar max , we can expect to wait only another few months up to the real solar min SC23-SS24, or in other words up to beginning of SC24 (we are now at the end of May 2008). So, SC#23, from point of view of temporal parameters, is not a special cycle, as these parameters are in the expected limits.

The well known relation: Radio Flux (F10.7 cm) vs. Sun Spot Number, seems to be different only for this last Solar Cycle. More radio flux per sun spot during Solar Cycle #23 (than in previous solar cycles) and even more, on its descending phase. F10.7 > SSN ( from linear relation F10.7 vs SSN ) This is happened exactly after the Gnevyshev (gap) minimum

During SC#23 descending phase : MgII index is bigger than in previous cycles, and also bigger than radio flux at 10.7cm: MgII >> F10.7

During SC#23 descending phase : F10.7 > SSN ( from linear relation F10.7 vs SSN ) MgII >> F10.7 At the end of SC#23, Solar UV activity is higher than expected It is this in coincidence with low sun spot activity ?
