Observations of Low Frequency Solar Radio Bursts from the Rosse Solar-Terrestrial Observatory

Solar Radio Bursts and Space Weather

Space Weather is the study of the conditions in the solar wind that can affect life on the surface of the Earth, particularly the increasingly technologically sophisticated devices that are part of modern life. Solar radio observations are relevant to such phenomena because they generally originate as events in the solar atmosphere, including flares, coronal mass ejections and shocks, that prod...

Low frequency radio observations of bi-directional electron beams in the solar corona

The radio signature of a shock travelling through the solar corona is known as a type II solar radio burst. In rare cases these bursts can exhibit a fine structure known as “herringbones”, which are a direct indicator of particle acceleration occurring at the shock front. However, few studies have been performed on herringbones and the details of the underlying particle acceleration processes a...

Kilometre-wave radio observations of solar type III bursts by Ulysses compared with decametre-wave observations from the Earth

Observations of solar type III bursts, made at kilometric frequencies by the radio receiver of the Ulysses Unified Radio and Plasma Wave (URAP) investigation, are compared with simultaneous observations, made at decametric frequencies at the Nançay Radio Astronomy Station of the ParisMeudonObservatory, during the period following the spacecraft encounter with Jupiter until the south solar polar...

The Radio Observatory on the Lunar Surface for Solar studies

The Radio Observatory on the Lunar Surface for Solar studies (ROLSS) is a concept for a near-side low radio frequency imaging interferometric array designed to study particle acceleration at the Sun and in the inner heliosphere. The prime science mission is to image the radio emission generated by Type II and III solar radio burst processes with the aim of determining the sites at and mechanism...
