Probability Distribution Functions of Sunspot Magnetic Flux

We investigated the probability distributions of sunspot area and magnetic flux by using data from the Royal Greenwich Observatory and USAF/NOAA. We constructed a sample of 2995 regions with maximum-development areas ≥500 MSH (millionths of solar hemisphere), covering 146.7 yr (1874–2020). The data...
