In 2012, Astronomy & Astrophysics published a statistical study of the isotopic records of solar activity, in which scientists claimed that there is evidence of planetary influence on solar activity. A&A is publishing a new analysis of these isotopic data. It corrects technical errors in the statistical tests performed earlier. They find no evidence of any planetary effect on solar activity.
