麦金托什太阳黑子三分量分类法于1966年引入，1969年被用于数据交换和公布，近年来被越来越多地使用。麦金托什分类使用修改后的苏黎世进化序列作为其第一个组成部分，类，其中两个苏黎世类被省略，并使用更多的定量定义。然后，它添加了对最大的黑子（第二部分）和黑子群内部的斑点程度（第三部分）的描述，以定义60种不同类型的太阳黑子群。本文介绍了McIntosh分类系统的定义及其原理。与太阳耀斑的相关性优于早期的苏黎世分类，促使在预测X射线太阳耀斑的专家系统（Theo）中使用麦金托什分类。
The 3-component McIntosh classification of sunspots was introduced in 1966, adopted for interchange and publication of data in 1969, and has been used increasingly in recent years. The McIntosh classification uses a modified Zurich evolutionary sequence as its first component, class, where two of the Zurich classes are omitted and more quantitative definitions are used. It then adds descriptions of the largest spot (second component) and the degree of spottedness in the group interior (third component) to define 60 distinct types of sunspot groups. Definitions of the McIntosh classification system and their rationale are presented herein. Correlations with solar flares excel those with the earlier Zurich classification, prompting the use of the McIntosh classification in an expert system (Theo) for predicting X-ray solar flares.
