Unusual activity of the Sun during recent decades compared to the previous 11,000 years

TL;DR: A reconstruction of the sunspot number covering the past 11,400 years is reported, based on dendrochronologically dated radiocarbon concentrations, and it is pointed out that solar variability is unlikely to have been the dominant cause of the strong warming during the past three decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sunspots: An overview

TL;DR: Sunspots are the most readily visible manifestations of solar magnetic field concentrations and their interaction with the Sun's plasma as mentioned in this paper, and their internal structure has been extensively studied for almost 400 years and their magnetic nature has been known since 1908.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small-scale solar magnetic fields: An overview

TL;DR: An overview of the observational and the theoretical methods used to investigate solar magnetic fields is given in this paper, which includes an introduction to the Stokes parameters, their radiative transfer in the presence of a magnetic field, and empirical techniques used to measure various properties of solar magnetic features.
