Flare differentially rotates sunspot on Sun’s surface

Flare differentially rotates sunspot on Sun’s surface

Sunspots are concentration of magnetic field visible on the solar surface, which were thought to be unaffected by solar flares that take place in the solar corona. Here the authors report evidence of a flare-induced rotation of a sunspot, showing nonuniform acceleration following the peaks of X-ray...
