Abstract

This paper investigates on the sun’s activity based on sunspot images using time series of sunspot numbers and absolute 10.7 cm flux that would also enable to establish relationship between these indices and provide possible forecasts. Moreover, these indices are also compared with the monthly number of solar bursts detected by the Mauritian Radio Telescope which forms part of the e-CALLISTO network.
