Solar Rotational Oscillation and Its Subharmonics in Solar Wind Plasma Field, Geomagnetic, and Cosmic Ray Intensity Indicator in the Solar Cycle 24/25 Minimum

摘要

To study synodic period and its subharmonics, we have utilized hourly average data of solar wind plasma field, geomagnetic index, and galactic cosmic ray intensity along with 5?min average data of selected solar wind field parameters during the recent minimum of Solar Cycle 24. Wavelet analyses of hourly average data reveal 28.1, 13.1, and 6.8?day of sigma in interplanetary magnetic field; 27.1, 13.1, and 9.0?day of plasma speed; 27.1, 13.6, 3.9, and 2.2?day of interplanetary electric field; 27.1, 13.6, 3.8, and 2.2?day of southward component of magnetic field; 26.2, 13.6, 8.6, and 3.0?day of geomagnetic Ap index; and 28.1, 11.0, 9.3, 7.0, and 1.6?day periods of galactic cosmic ray intensity. In addition to these prominent short‐term periods, we have significantly observed 6.6, 3.3, and 1.7?day periods of sigma in interplanetary magnetic field (σB); 5.6, 4.2, and 2.2?day of electric field (Ey) and 5.6, 3.3, and 2.4?day of southward component of magnetic field (Bz) in the 5?min average data. During the recent solar minimum, we have observed one solar rotational period and its second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth subharmonics. The observed subharmonics of solar rotational period make the current solar minimum very special and noteworthy to study.
