| Abstract: | Some properties of the recently-discovered torsional oscillations of the Sun are presented. The detailed relation of this velocity feature to magnetic activity gives evidence that these motions represent a fundamental oscillation within the Sun that is responsible for the solar activity cycle and that they are not a natural consequence of an  - dynamo. A new torsional oscillation with wave number 1 hemisphere–1 is demonstrated to exist on the Sun. |
