Some previous theoretical studies have suggested that the
magnetic field of a neutron star should break into
smaller loops and dissipate as the star ages — a phenomenon known as «turbulent cascade.»
So, if these currents have mass, and these currents are
looping through a periodically changing barycenter, all that is needed to affect something else in the sun — and whether that symptom of the change is a change in sunspot number, or sunspot cycle intensity, or change in the sun's net
magnetic field, or corona «height», or ejected masses, or whatever is a
small change in the position of the barycenter.
