We are pleased to announce the opening of a new web site Radio monitoring at http://secchirh.obspm.fr This radio survey is a joint effort of the Paris Observatory, the University of Athens, the University of Ioannina, and the Solar Physics Branch of the Naval Research Laboratory. The site is still under construction. At the present stage, it provides a daily survey (08-16 UT) which includes: Radio spectra covering the 600 MHz-30 […]
Electron beams travelling through the solar corona excite Langmuir waves near the local electron plasma frequency. When these Langmuir waves are converted into electromagnetic waves, the radiation can be detected by radio telescopes as bursts with very specific spectral signatures that depend on the magnetic structure which guides the beams. E.g., an electron beam that propagates upward along open magnetic fields produces a short pulse of emission at systematically decreasing […]
Radio-quiet coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are those with no detectable type II radio emission in the metric and decameter-hectometric (DH) wavelengths. (The CMEs may be associated with other types of radio emission such as type III bursts, see definitions for the different types of bursts or the diagram of burst classification). The radio-loud CMEs are those with identifiable type II burst in the DH domain from Wind/WAVES data, irrespective of […]
Solar flares accelerate particles, and their distribution is usually non-thermal. Non-thermal electrons are prone to velocity space instabilities driving various plasma waves which, in turn, couple into observable radio waves. Such coherent emissions are the result of the combined action of many electrons organized by kinetic plasma waves and can therefore be extremely efficient. Small coherent radio bursts at the limit of present routine observations emit an energy of some […]
We present first results from an ongoing program of combining data from the Nancay Radioheliograph NRH and the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope GMRT, to produce snapshot images of the Sun at meter wavelengths. The data processing includes a superposition of complex visibilities from NRH and GMRT, a Fourier Transform and a cleaning multi-scale algorithm. We show results from a simulation and an observation of a complex noise storm at 327 […]
