Complex network for solar active regions

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

In this paper we developed a complex network of solar active regions (ARs) to study various local and global properties of the network.

Description

The values of the Hurst exponent (0.8-0.9) were evaluated by both the detrended fluctuation analysis and the rescaled range analysis applied on the time series of the AR numbers. The findings suggest that ARs can be considered as a system of self-organized criticality (SOC).

We constructed a growing network based on locations, occurrence times, and the lifetimes of 4227 ARs recorded from 1999 January 1 to 2017 April 14. The behavior of the clustering coefficient shows that the AR network is not a random network. The logarithmic behavior of the length scale has the characteristics of a so-called small-world network.

It is found that the probability distribution of the node degrees for undirected networks follows the power law with exponents of about 3.7-4.2. This indicates the scale-free nature of the AR network. The scale-free and small-world properties of the AR network confirm that the system of ARs forms a system of SOC.

Our results show that the occurrence probability of flares (classified by GOES class C>5, M, and X flares) in the position of the AR network hubs takes values greater than that obtained for other nodes.
