The heartbeat of the Sun is a complex, multi-rhythmic affair, beating in different ways according to various periodicities. We don't know what drives many of these solar heartbeats, but new findings revive and strengthen a link with the planets of the Solar System.
"While this solar dynamo generates an approximately 11-year activity cycle in its own right, we think the planets' influence then intervenes in the workings of this dynamo, repeatedly giving it a little push and thus forcing the unusually stable 11.07-year rhythm on the Sun." "We know how much energy is required to synchronize the dynamo, and we know that this energy can be transferred to the sun by so-called Rossby waves.,"we can now not only explain the Schwabe cycle and longer solar cycles but also the shorter Rieger cycles that we hadn't even considered previously."
