Generation of Series of Meter/Decimeter III type Bursts During Thermal Phase of Solar Flare by Meshalkina and Altyntsev

2024-10-22

It has been established that decimeter type III bursts are generated in the upper corona by electron beams. However, many questions remain about their sources to this day. Some were associated with the jets generated by regular solar flares, but most were found to be associated with weak energy release events. The purpose of this work is to determine the relationship of meter and decimeter III type bursts with the […]

Solar Microwave Polarization Observed by the Newest and Oldest Solar Radio Telescopes by Masumi Shimojo

2024-05-01

Polarization, regardless of wavelength, is one of the key observables for understanding the solar atmosphere because it provides information about magnetic fields, and microwave polarization is also one of them. It can reveal magnetism in the chromosphere, transition region, and corona from the microwave polarization dependencies of opacity and emissivity related to magnetic fields. Although observing solar polarization in the microwave range is not easy, it has a long history […]

Spectroscopic Imaging of the Sun with MeerKAT: Opening a New Frontier in Solar Physics by Kansabanik et al.

2024-04-10

Since the discovery of solar radio emission in the late 1940s, the Sun has been studied in great detail across a wide range of frequencies from a few tens of kHz to several hundreds of GHz. Solar radio emissions provide several unique diagnostics of the solar corona, which are otherwise simply inaccessible. Despite this long history of observations and studies, the Sun still harbors several mysteries. Improved observations from the […]

The physics of solar spectral imaging observations in dm-cm wavelengths and space weather by Tan et al.

2024-01-17

Recent years, several new generation solar radio telescopes operating in the centimeter decimeter (dm-cm) wavelengths have emerged in the world, including the Mingantu Spectral Radioheliograph (MUSER, 0.4-15GHz) (Yan et al. 2021), the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA, 1-18GHz) (Gary et al. 2018), and the Siberian Radio Heliograph (SRH, 3-24GHz) (Altyntsev et al. 2020). Due to the fact that the solar radio emission in dm-cm wavelengths mainly originates from the […]

A New 6-15 GHz Solar Radio Observation System, by Lei Zhang et al.

2023-10-11

In the decimeter to centimeter wavelength, solar radio emission during bursts are generally accepted to be generated by gyrosynchrotron. The typical gyrosynchrotron spectra present reverse-V shapes. And the spectral parameters, including the peak frequency, peak flux and declining spectra etc. can provide crucial information of the bursts. The spectral peak usually appears around 10 GHz. And it is demanded that a continuum observation can cover this frequency range. Meanwhile, the […]

Two-element interferometer for millimeter-wave solar flare observations, by Yu et al.

2023-08-29

Solar radio emission can be significantly influenced by Earth’s atmosphere when transmitting towards the Earth’s surface, due to atmospheric turbulence and the absorption of vapor and oxygen molecules etc. Consequently, antennas receive signals with a ‘dither’ component, indicating a noise signal exhibiting random variations. As a result, the sensitivity of observing systems distorts severely , especially for weaker radio bursts in the millimeter passband. Weak bursts can be usually observed […]

Data-constrained Solar Modeling with GX Simulator by G. Nita et al

2023-08-08

In the dynamic realm of modern solar physics, where vast and diverse data sets challenge understanding, a critical need emerges for advanced data-constrained 3D modeling that combines photospheric magnetic fields measurements and a wide range of contextual electromagnetic radiation observations, which includes radio, X-ray, and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions. Bridging all these available observational data constraints is imperative to create a comprehensive understanding of solar activity and phenomena. Addressing this […]

Electron acceleration efficiency during the impulsive phase of a solar flare: X-ray and microwave observations by Kontar et al

2023-06-20

Solar flares are known to be prolific electron accelerators, yet identifying the mechanism(s) for such efficient electron acceleration in magnetic reconnection events at the Sun (and similar astrophysical settings) presents a major challenge in Astrophysics (e.g. Holman et al 2011). Accelerated electrons with energies above $\sim 20$ keV are revealed by hard X-ray (HXR) bremsstrahlung emission, while accelerated electrons with even higher energies usually manifest themselves through radio gyrosynchrotron emission.
