We have made number counts of the bright points that populate the interior of the Ca II network in the solar chromosphere for four solar cycles. We find that the number of these fine structures during the solar maximum exceeds that during the minimum phase on an average by 30%. The contribution due

โฆ Synopsis
Recent Skylab observations about the bright points in the solar X-ray images seem to confirm an essential prediction of a model proposed by this author for the appearance and the disappearance of the photospheric fields during a solar cycle.
The segments of the individually rising strands of the 'fundamental flux-loops' proposed in the model may lead to the X-ray bright points with the observed properties.
The emergence of such strands may substantially contribute to the coronal heating at different heights.

X-ray images obtained during two rocket flights near the maximum of sunspot cycle 21 now allow the study of the variation of X-ray bright point number over an eleven-year period covering the maxima of the last two cycles. The new data are consistent with the earlier conclusion that the temporal vari
The cosmic ray modulation in the period 1965-70 is investigated by the comparison of the intensity data of groundbased stations with different response to primaries. The socalled step-like modulation, already observed by other authors, is found to be produced by the overlapping between the quasi-sta
