Announcement: New Applications
We are excited to announce the launch of our new applications! We're opening up early access to our new applications for searching, downloading, and submitting photometric observations. You can now access these applications through these links:
We ask for your feedback in order to help us improve these applications. Please send feedback for the applications above to feedback@aavso.org. Note: please avoid duplicating submissions across the two submit applications.
How valuable is the sun or the data from the observations
Hi: I was reminded how valuable it is when I attended the Solar Physics devision meeting in Boston, Mass. Alot a folks doing research need the data. I have also subsribed to the Sun-Earth connection website. It is our nearest Star. Without its' warmth. Where would we be? Best HNL
The short answer - It is very slightly variable, but like all average mid-main sequence stars, they can be considered of essentially constant energy output. The major variation is the 11-year solar cycle, where the output varies by about one part in a thousand, or one milli-magnitude (0.001).
