Spin rates distribution in the solar system and 160 minute oscillations of the sun.

The previous analysis and results as regards the effect of a preferable commensurability of the spin rates (of planets and asteroids) with the 160-min period is now extended to a much more complete data set comprising 239 different bodies in the solar system: 223 asteroids with diameters D ≥ 30 km, 6 planets and 10 nuclei of short-period comets. It is found that for the frequency range studied (from about 30 to 200 μHz) there is a unique period, 160 min, which shows the highest degree of overall commensurability with the entire sample of spin rates. The statistical significance of the result is estimated to be near 3.4σ to 5.8σ depending on one or another statistical hypothesis. A preliminary conclusion is made that the apparent "universal" behaviour of the 160-min periodicity can be classified, perhaps, as some property of the gravitational field.
