| contents | Identifying solar active regions (ARs), which consist of one or more pairs of magnetic patches with opposite polarities, is essential due to their significant role in dynamic solar atmospheric phenomena. In this study, we analyze ARs during their emergence and evolution on the solar surface using a complex network-based method known as Identifying Solar Magnetic Patches (ISMP). To examine the magnetic characteristics, we selected a subregion of 125 $\times$ 125 pixels centered on AR NOAA No., 1158, observed in 2011. Line-of-sight magnetogram data were obtained from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Our statistical analysis reveals that the distributions of patch area, lifetime, and magnetic flux follow power-law behavior, with exponents approximately equal to $α$ = 2.14, 2.5, and 1.42, respectively. Furthermore, a Hurst exponent of 0.57 indicates the presence of long-range temporal correlations in the emergence of new magnetic patches. |
