Original abstract
We use statistical tools to analyse data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager to determine the distribution of the magnetic flux of photospheric magnetic features and its variation over a full solar cycle. In particular, we use statistical figures of merit to test how well different types of probability density function represent the magnetic flux distribution inferred from the data and how their shape changes over the solar cycle. Our analysis shows that a double power law provides the best representation of the data over the full solar cycle and we present the dependence of the power law exponents on the phase of the solar cycle. The nature of the observed flux distributions at different times during the solar cycle is significant because it could be used to try and infer information about solar magnetic field generation mechanisms. We discuss potential implications of a double power law distribution for solar magnetic field generation.
