Solar Paleoastrophysics: Advances and Limitations
Maxim Ogurtsov, Risto Jalkanen, Markus Lindholm and Svetlana Veretenenko
Abstract
In addition to a historical overview and general information, major advances and problems of solar paleoastrophysics are described, including the data obtained by means of cosmogenic isotopes (<sup>14</sup>C, <sup>10</sup>Be), nitrates (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> ion), and historical observations. The most recent proxy-based paleoreconstructions of sunspot numbers and sunspot area, covering time intervals from 150 to 10 000 years, are presented. Possible sources of time variations of the concentration of <sup>14</sup>C, <sup>10</sup>Be and NO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> ion in terrestrial archives are considered.
