Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the correlations between a star's internal dynamics due to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability and episodes of stellar wind activity, using both a theoretical model and observational data from the NOAA.% \cite{NOAA}. Besides its relevance as an astrophysics problem, this study is also informative for models of climate change which include secular perturbations in the Sun's internal dynamics, as a potential source of solar activity variability.
