Anisotropic density turbulence variation from the low corona to 1 au as deduced from solar radio observations by E. Kontar et al.

November 30, 2023

Density turbulence in the solar corona and solar wind is evident via the properties of solar radio bursts; angular scattering-broadening of extra-solar radio sources observed through the solar atmosphere, and can be measured in-situ in the solar wind. A viable density turbulence model should simultaneously explain all three types of density fluctuation observations. Solar radio bursts (e.g. Type I, II, III) observed below ~1 GHz are produced predominantly via plasma […]

Separating the effects of earthside and far side solar events by Silja Pohjolainen et al.

November 14, 2023

During times of high solar activity flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occur close in time, sometimes even simultaneously, and it may be difficult to identify their source regions. Especially fast CMEs that are observed as propagating fronts high in the corona,  can originate from a region on the Earth-facing side, or from the far side. To determine their origins and direction of propagation, one needs to do a careful […]
