Sun's retrograde motion and violation of even-odd cycle rule in sunspot activity
@article{Javaraiah2005SunsRM, title={Sun's retrograde motion and violation of even-odd cycle rule in sunspot activity}, author={J. Javaraiah}, journal={Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, year={2005}, volume={362}, pages={1311-1318} }
The sum of sunspot numbers over an odd-numbered 11-yr sunspot cycle exceeds that of its preceding even-numbered cycle, and it is well known as Gnevyshev and Oh1 rule (or G-O rule) after the names of the authors who discovered it in 1948. The G-O rule can be used to predict the sum of sunspot numbers of a forthcoming odd cycle from that of its preceding even cycle. However, this is not always possible because occasionally the G-O rule is violated. So far, no plausible reason is known either for…
