Weak Solar Radio Bursts from the Solar Wind Acceleration Region Observed by the Parker Solar Probe and Its Probable Emission Mechanism by Ling Chen et al.

February 20, 2024

The study of solar wind acceleration and coronal heating has been a major challenge in solar physics. The main difficulty is that the collisionless characteristic of high-temperature, thin, and fully ionized coronal plasmas lead to the heating and acceleration of the coronal plasmas to be dominated by wave particle interactions, which are the “elementary processes” of the plasma collective interaction at the kinetic scales of plasma particles. Radio observation becomes […]

An Interactive Visual Tool for the Anisotropic Scattering of Solar Radio Bursts by Daniel L. Clarkson et al

February 6, 2024

The turbulent heliosphere has a significant effect on the observed characteristics of radio emission produced in, or viewed through, the solar atmosphere. In particular, radio-wave scattering on density irregularities can broaden the observed decay times and source sizes, and shift the apparent source position. Both radio burst observations and simulations have demonstrated that the turbulence is anisotropic, which can explain both the observed decay times and source sizes simultaneously. Considering […]
