Non-homogeneous Behaviour of the Spatial Distribution of Macrospicules

TL;DR

This study investigates the uneven spatial distribution of macrospicules on the Sun, revealing their inhomogeneity and correlation with sunspot activity, and analyzing their migration patterns over time.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of macrospicule distribution in relation to active longitudes and sunspot groups, highlighting their non-homogeneous and non-axisymmetric behavior.

Findings

Macrospicule distribution correlates with active longitudes.

Distribution shows inhomogeneity and non-axisymmetry.

Migration patterns of macrospicules resemble sunspot group behavior.

Abstract

In this paper the longitudinal and latitudinal spatial distribution of macrospicules is examined. We found a statistical relationship between the active longitude determined by sunspot groups and the longitudinal distribution of macrospicules. This distribution of macrospicules shows an inhomogeneity and non-axysimmetrical behaviour in the time interval from June $2010$ until December $2012$ covered by observations of the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) satellite. The enhanced positions of the activity and its time variation has been calculated. The migration of the longitudinal distribution of macrospicules shows a similar behaviour as that of the sunspot groups.
