Rebelbranch is correct. It is a minimum.
A Maunder minimum is just one specific minimum.
From Wikipedia: The Maunder Minimum is the name given to the period roughly from 1645 to 1715, when sunspots became exceedingly rare, as noted by solar observers of the time. It is named after the solar astronomer Edward W. Maunder (1851–1928) who discovered the dearth of sunspots during that period by studying records from those years. During one 30-year period within the Maunder Minimum, for example, astronomers observed only about 50 sunspots, as opposed to a more typical 40,000–50,000 spots.

the term used for a lack of sunspots is called a magnetic energy reversal of the corona, or a "MERC."

Low periods of sunspot activity are called minimums; heavy activity, maximums.

we at the Pub think collectively ( after several beers) that the correct answer is "ionization sleep."
