Multi-spacecraft Radio Observations Trace the Heliospheric Magnetic Field by D. L. Clarkson et al.

April 25, 2025

Solar flares accelerate energetic electrons that escape into interplanetary space, guided by the Parker spiral magnetic field, and are responsible for the generation of the interplanetary Type III solar radio bursts. With multiple spacecraft now in orbit around the Sun (see e.g. Musset et al 2021), we are in a unique position of observing the propagation of radio emission through the heliosphere from multiple vantage points. Recent study by Clarkson […]

Magnetic Field Geometry and Anisotropic Scattering Effects to Explain Puzzling LOFAR Solar Radio Burst Observations by D. L. Clarkson et al.

February 4, 2025

Solar radio bursts are an indirect signature of accelerated electron beams from the solar atmosphere. These fast electrons generate Langmuir waves as they propagate through a decreasing plasma density and ultimately lead to the bright broadband radio emissions with a characteristic fast frequency drift in dynamic spectra. Density turbulence in the plasma can modulate this process, producing fine structures such as sub-second, narrowband striae and spikes. These fine structures may […]

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

August 8, 2023

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 […]

Radio measurements of coronal magnetic fields in fan-spine configurations on the Sun by B. Ryabov and A. Vrublevskis

June 6, 2023

We are striving for more accurate coronal magnetography based on changes in radio polarization as microwaves cross magnetic field lines at nearly right angles. The theory of using quasi-transverse propagation for coronal field measurements includes weak dependence on two parameters: plasma density $N_e$ and the magnetic field divergence $L_d$ (see Alissandrakis and Gary, 2021 for a review). We evaluate coronal plasma density from local differential emission measure computed from the […]

Discovery of correlated evolution in noise storm source parameters: Insights on $\vec{B}$ dynamics during a microflare by A. Mohan

April 13, 2021

Solar noise storms are known to be related to small and large scale magnetic field enhancements at active regions (Elgaroy 1977, Li et al.,2017). However, the mechanism still remain unclear. Their high spectro-temporal variability and ubiquity of weak events demanded sub-second and sub-MHz scale imaging with high dynamic ranges (DRs) to reliably study emission from individual sources. Using high DR snapshot spectroscopic images from the Murchison Widefield Array, this work […]
