Investigations of Solar Luminosity Variations

Main Investigator: S.K. Solanki

Co-Investigator: C. Fröhlich, M. Fligge, J. Kuhn, Ph. Scherrer


Objectives: We propose to quantitatively study the connection between magnetic field and brightness, with the aim of finally being able to predict the observed solar brightness on the basis of the measured magnetogram. The predictions from our models are to be compared with VIRGO and MDI data.
