Clues for the source of solar scillations

The Sun behaves like a resonance cavity continuously excited: the nature of these "solar oscillations" is usually attributed to phenomena coming from inside and/or on the surface. A hypothesis that associates impulsive events above the surface, corroborated by theory and observations, has been proposed. For the first time, global-scale magnetic solar fluctuations on a global scale have been interpreted to suggest the magnetic sun acting as a capacitor of the kinetic energy.
