Abstract
Using the Irkutsk Incoherent Scattering Radar, it is demonstrated that the high sensitivity of such radars, which are usually used for studies of the Earth’s ionosphere, also enables their use in a passive mode for observations of astronomical radio sources. Observations of solar flares accompanied by coronal mass ejections and of quasi-stationary radio sources on the Sun have been carried out. In addition, scintillations of several of the brightest discrete radio sources (Cygnus A, Cassiopeia A, and the Crab Nebula) have been studied over several months. These data can also be useful for studies of the ionosphere and interplanetary space.
