Introduction

Welcome. Let me present some of my work on the sunspot cycle. I will start very simple, just looking at the dates of sunspot minimum and the cycle strength. Later I´ll dig into montly and daily data, planetary ephemerides, and probably some tidal force calclulations and so on.

The central part here is obviously the planetary influence on the sunspot cycle.
Some 15 years ago I read about superflares on distant stars, where giant planets or twin stars were involved in creating such flares. So I realized the neighbours were influencing the star/solar activity.

So when looking into our sunspot cycle, we can quickly find a major pattern in the timing of the cycles. And a major pattern in the sunspot cycle strength. Next we have to explain some details. But the final explanation of what is really going on... maybe we can see some traces of that too...

Lets go!
