Notes. The columns are as follows: internal cycle number n, years of minimum Ymin and maximum Ymax of each cycle, and the corresponding cycle-averaged SN ⟨SN⟩ with 1σ uncertainties, cycle length (min-to-min) T in years, quality flag q, and comments. Periods of deep grand minima, when solar cyclic activity drops below the sunspot formation level, are marked in italics. The digital version of this table is available via the CDS.
