Fine structural features of radio-frequency radiation of the solar flare of February 12, 2010

Solar radio emission records received at the IZMIRAN spectrograph (25–270 MHz) during the solar flare event of February 12, 2010 are analyzed. Different fine structures were observed in three large groups of type III bursts against a low continuum. According to data from the Nancay radioheliograph, sources of all three groups of bursts were located in one active region, 11046, and their emissions were accompanied by soft X-ray bursts (GOES satellite): C7.9 at 0721 UT, B9.6 at 0940 UT, and M8.3 at 1125 UT. After the first group of bursts, classical fiber bursts were observed in combination with reverse-drift fiber bursts with unusual arc drift. After the third (the most powerful) group, stable second-length pulsations and slow-drift fiber bursts were observed, the instantaneous frequency bands of which were an order of magnitude larger than the frequency band of classical fiber bursts, and the frequency drift was several times lower. More complex fiber bursts were observed in the weakest group in the time range 0940:39–0942:00 UT. They were narrow-band (∼0.5 MHz) fiber bursts, periodically recurring in a narrow frequency band (5–6 MHz) during several seconds. The presence of many chaotically drifting ensembles of fibers, crossing and superimposing on one another, is a feature of this event. It is assumed that occurrence of these structures can be connected with the existence of many small shock fronts behind the leading edge of a coronal mass ejection.

On the ionospheric and thermospheric response of solar flare events of 19 January 2005: An investigation using radio and optical techniques

AbstractThis study presents optical signatures of thermospheric OI 630.0 nm dayglow variability over a geomagnetic dip equatorial station Trivandrum (8.5°N, 77°E, 0.5° dip latitude), India, in response to solar flares of different ranks that occurred on 19 January 2005. It is found that over equator, the response of thermospheric dayglow to solar flares can be either prompt or delayed depending upon rank of the flare and dominant neutral/electrodynamical processes prevailing in the emission altitudes. This is strikingly in contrast to the earlier results, where prompt response of equatorial OI 630.0 nm dayglow to solar flares has been noticed. In addition, the flare‐induced changes at the E and F regions of the equatorial ionosphere are studied using high‐cadence measurements of the equatorial electrojet (EEJ) and total electron content (TEC) obtained from the ground‐based magnetometers and GPS receivers, respectively. The Hall/Pedersen conductivity measurements as inferred using the magnetometers over the EEJ station and an off‐EEJ station showed concomitant changes during these flares. Although, the GPS‐measured TEC showed prompt enhancement associated with these flares, the evolution of the equatorial ionization anomaly, as seen in the TEC did not show any flare‐induced changes. The plausible mechanisms explaining these observations are adduced in context of the present understanding of the equatorial electrodynamics and its imprint on these dayglow features.

Fundamental and Second Harmonic Bands of Solar Radio Burst Type II Caused by X1.8 - Class Solar Flares

An extreme 2012 October 23 solar flare event marked on the onset of the CALLISTO data, being one of the highest solar flare event that successfully detected. The formation of harmonic solar burst type II in meter region and their associated with X1.8-class solar flares has been reported. This burst has been observed at the National Space Centre, Banting, detected by the Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory (CALLISTO) system in the range of 150-400 MHz in the low frequency band. It occurred between 3.17:45 UT to 3.19:00 UT within 1 minute 15 seconds. The Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory CALLISTO spectrometer is a solar dedicated spectrometer system that has been installed all over the world to monitor the Sun activity in 24 hours. The growth of this burst is often accompanied by abundance enhancement of particles which may take the form of multiple independent drifting bands or other forms of fine structure. Due to the results, the drift rate of this burst is 2.116 MHz s–1, which is considered as a slow drift rate. These drifting bands are approximately having a frequency ratio 2:1. This burst is a particular interest, though of sporadic and infrequent occurrence. The splitting is due to the effect of magnetic splitting, analogous to the Zeeman Effect. This is one of the examples which the type II burst is not always associated with CMEs event. The combination of radio and x-ray region give a complete view of the solar flare eruption from e active region AR1598. Both different electromagnetic spectrum shows the exact time. Other interesting results is that this type II burst is not associated with CMEs as usual, but due to the very high solar flare event with a fundamental form at more than 100 MHz. An extension of the present work will be a detailed study of the possible triggering and the driving mechanism of solar flare explosion.

Variations of the 3‐D coronal magnetic field associated with the X3.4‐class solar flare event of AR 10930

AbstractThe variations of the 3‐D coronal magnetic fields associated with the X3.4‐class flare of active region 10930 are studied in this paper. The coronal magnetic field data are reconstructed from the photospheric vector magnetograms obtained by the Hinode satellite and using the nonlinear force‐free field extrapolation method developed in our previous work (He et al., 2011). The 3‐D force‐free factor α, 3‐D current density, and 3‐D magnetic energy density are employed to analyze the coronal data. The distributions of α and current density reveal a prominent magnetic connectivity with strong negative α values and strong current density before the flare. This magnetic connectivity extends along the main polarity inversion line and is found to be totally broken after the flare. The distribution variation of magnetic energy density reveals the redistribution of magnetic energy before and after the flare. In the lower space of the modeling volume the increase of magnetic energy dominates, and in the higher space the decrease of energy dominates. The comparison with the flare onset imaging observation exhibits that the breaking site of the magnetic connectivity and site with the highest values of energy density increase coincide with the location of flare initial eruption. We conclude that a cramped positive α region appearing in the photosphere causes the breaking of the magnetic connectivity. A scenario for flare initial eruption is proposed in which the Lorentz force acting on the isolated electric current at the magnetic connectivity breaking site lifts the associated plasmas and causes the initial ejection.

Type II Solar Radio Burst with a Split and Herring − Bones during a Minimum Solar Activity

A preliminary correlation study of the herring − bone type II with a type III solar burst of has been made. On the basis of this study and in combination with the observation in radio emission, an interpretation of the mechanism of the occurrence of this event has been proposed. The type II solar radio burst with a split and herring bone is occurring at the same time from 36 MHz till 50 MHz. We have noted that an individual type III burst also can be observed at 13:23 UT from 45-50 MHz. During that day, a stream of solar wind from a coronal hole on the Sun has disturbing Earth's magnetosphere creating a minor geomagnetic storm, G1 on the NOAA scale of G1-G5. In this case, the solar flare is not very high, but CME is responsible to form a solar radio burst type II. Overall, based on seven days observation beginning from 25th March 2013, the solar activity is considered as very low. The highest solar flare can be observed within 7 days is only a class of B8 flare. There was no CMEs event that directed to the Earth is detected. The geomagnetic field activities are also at minimum level. Although the solar flare event is at a lower stage, it is still possible to form the solar radio burst type II which is associated with CME event. From the selected event, although theoretically solar radio burst type II is associated with CMEs, there is no compelling solar radio burst type II without a flare. The only difference is the dynamic structure and the intensity and speed of both phenomena (solar flares and CMEs) which depend on the active region. Nevertheless, understanding how energy is released in solar flares is one of the central questions in astrophysics. This solar radio burst type II formation is the first event that successfully detected by e-CALLISTO network in 2013.

The Tendencies and Timeline of the Solar Burst Type II Fragmented

We report the timeline of the solar radio burst Type II that formed but fragmented at certain point based on the eruption of the solar flare on 13th November 2012 at 2:04:20 UT. The active region AR 1613 is one of the most active region in 2012. It is well known that the magnetic energy in the solar corona is explosively released before converted into the thermal and kinetic energy in solar flares. In this work, the Compound Astronomical Low-frequency, Low-cost Instrument for Spectroscopy Transportable Observatories (CALLIISTO) system is used in obtaining a dynamic spectrum of solar radio burst data. There are eight active regions and this is the indicator that the Sun is currently active. Most the active regions radiate a Beta radiation. The active regions 1610, 1611 and 1614 are currently the largest sunspots on the visible solar disk. There is an increasing chance for an isolated M-Class solar flare event. It is also expected that there will be a chance of an M flare, especially from AR 1614 and 1610. Although these two observations (radio and X-rays) seem to be dominant on the observational analysis, we could not directly confirmed that this is the only possibility, and we need to consider other processes to explain in detailed the injection, energy loss and the mechanism of the acceleration of the particles. In conclusion, the percentage of energy of solar flare becomes more dominant rather than the acceleration of particles through the Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and that will be the main reason why does the harmonic structure of type II burst is not formed. This event is one fine example of tendencies solar radio burst type III, which makes the harmonic structure of solar radio burst type II fragmented.

Sensing the Earth’s low ionosphere during solar flares using VLF signals and goes solar X-ray data

An analysis of D-region electron density height profile variations, induced by four isolated solar X-ray flares during period from September 2005 to December 2006, based on the amplitude and the phase delay perturbation of 22.1kHz signal trace from Skelton (54.72N, 2.88W) to Belgrade (44.85N, 20.38E), coded GQD, was carried out. Solar flare data were taken from NOAA GOES12 satellite one-minute listings. For VLF data acquisition and recordings at the Institute of Physics, Belgrade, Serbia, the AbsPAL system was used. Starting from LWPCv21 code (Ferguson, 1998), the variations of the Earth-ionosphere waveguide characteristic parameters, sharpness and reflection height, were estimated during the flare conditions. It was found that solar flare events affected the VLF wave propagation in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide by changing the lower ionosphere electron density height profile, in a different way, for different solar flare events.

First Light Detection of a Single Solar Radio Burst Type III due to Solar Flare Event

The eruption mechanism of solar flares and type III are currently an extremely active area of research, especially during the solar cycle is towards maximum. In this case, the total energy of solar burst type III is of the order of solar flare with the explosion of the energy can up to 1015 ergs. The solar flare event is one of the most spectacular explosions that still be on-going study in the solar physics world. This event occurred at 2:000 UT on 15th April 2012 is due to the explosion of the magnetic energy in from the chromosphere and converted into the heating, mass motion and particle acceleration which can be detected by solar radio burst type III. In this work, we will highlight our first light detection of very tiny solar radio burst type III, which has been observed at the National Space Centre, Banting, Selangor detected by the Compound Low Cost Low Frequency Transportable Observatories (CALLISTO) system at 5:53:23. The region of the data is from 150 − 400 MHz in radio region. This burst is drifted from 150 MHz till 260 MHz. It represents a total energy of 6.2035 × 10-7 eV − 1.0753 × 10-6 eV. This fast drift burst is a continuity of the acceleration of the particles which is intermittent, and can be observed since the explosion of the solar flare. Although the burst is very tiny, it is still significant because this burst is the first detection of a single type III burst from our site. Still, the acceleration of the particles can be detected from Earth in the radio region within 3 hours period of observation at the post stage of solar flare.

An Observation of an Inverted Type U Solar Burst due to AR1429 Active Region

A detailed investigation of an inverted type U solar burst in meter region and their associated the solar flare and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) has been reported. Solar type U burst has been observed at the National Space Centre, Banting, Selangor detected by the Compound Low Cost Low Frequency Transportable Observatories (CALLISTO) system in the 150 MHz till 400 MHz at the low frequency band. An inverted U type is occurring on 9th March 2012 between 4:00 UT to 4:15 UT within 1 minute (4:12 − 4:13) UT. From the dynamic spectra of CALLISTO, we have identified metric type U burst with maximum emission near the frequency 385MHz. In specific, the continuum type III burst will soon structure this burst due to our observations. Other types such as type II and IV are only appearing only after type U burst is ejected and appear at the same point of the solar flare event. Since the U burst activity coincides with the peak of the hard X-ray flare at 4:12UT in AR1429, we classified that the event is associated with the injection of the high energetic particles. In conclusion, it is confirmed that an inverted type U burst is initiated after a complex and a group solar radio burst type III.

SHARAD Signal Attenuation and Delay Offsets Due to the Martian Ionosphere

We estimate and correct variable time-delay offsets among Mars Shallow Radar (SHARAD) sounding observations of the north polar layered deposits of Mars under a broad range of ionospheric conditions. We find that these delay offsets are linearly related to the magnitude of the phase distortion, which is determined by optimization of the surface and subsurface echo response by autofocusing. We use this relationship to determine an empirical scaling between the phase parameter and the total electron content (TEC) of the Martian ionosphere. This method allows simultaneous correction of the image blurring and time-delay errors induced by the ionosphere, corrections that are crucial for 3-D imaging of subsurface features. We also characterize the attenuation of SHARAD echoes as a function of TEC to facilitate detection of seasonal changes in surface physical properties. During solar flare events, SHARAD signals experience phase distortion and delay consistent with a 50%-100% increase in TEC relative to typical dayside conditions, but up to tenfold greater attenuation than predicted. The increased signal absorption is likely due to enhanced electron content at lower altitudes where the neutral particle density is higher.

Investigation on a Broken Solar Burst Type II during High Activities in AR1613 on 13th November 2012

The present article is an attempt to analyze the solar burst Type II observations based on solar flare and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) events. We choose an intriguing type II radio burst with a velocity of 1193 kms-1 that occurred on 2012 November 13 at 2:04:20 UT. In this case, the study of solar radio burst type III is of paramount importance because of the fact that it helps to gain an insight of generation mechanisms of solar flare and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) phenomena. Here, we have got a reasonably clear idea of the various forms under which the type III continuum emission may appear and potentially form a type II burst. However, in this case, the Type II solar burst only successfully forms a fundamental structure within the first few minute period, but broken suddenly before evolve a harmonic structure. This phenomenon is very interesting to be tackled and study. How the burst suddenly broken is still ongoing research seems the event is very rare and hard to be proved. There are a few questions that cause this unique situation which related to: (i) the intensity and duration of type III burst which also related to the classification of solar flare (ii) the probabilities CMEs to occur during that time and also the factor of the total amount of massive burst that exploded, Thus, we can conclude that the solar burst type III event still tells us an enigmatic characteristic from time to time due to the relationship of energetic particles and streams of particles with coronal magnetic fields and the pattern of Sun activity due to the 24th solar cycle. It might an interesting to study in detail the main factor that caused the Type II solar burst broken. Indirectly, it might because of the very intense of solar flares that make the percentage of energy of solar flare become more dominant rather than the acceleration of particles through the Coronal Mass Ejections. Thus, we realize that the potential energy during this event is higher than the kinetic energy of the particles.

Detection of ionospheric signatures from GPS-derived total electron content maps

AbstractThe processing of measurement data from satellite constellations such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), including the well-known Global Positioning System (GPS), have been successfully applied to virtually all areas of geophysical sciences. In this work, a method is described where Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are employed to build hourly ionospheric Total Electron Content (TEC) maps for 2011 over the southern Iberian Peninsula. The maps used GPS-derived geometryfree linear combinations attained from station data from the Algarve, Alentejo (Portugal), Andalusia, Murcia and Valencia (Spain) regions. Following the construction of the ionospheric maps, it was possible to relate these results to natural phenomena. The observed phenomena included diurnal and seasonal variations: daytime TEC maxima, nighttime TEC peaks, summer TEC value decreases, and spring and fall TEC maxima. After validation of these periodic phenomena, detection of non-periodic changes, such as solar flares and tectonic interactions with the ionosphere were attempted. The results showed a TEC increase following a selected solar flare event and a potential TEC build-up prior to the 2011 Lorca earthquake. Further studies could open up the possibility of building early warning systems. The presented methods, based on available software packages, are also of value in monitoring the effect of the ionosphere on radio signals, satellite and mobile communication, power grids, and for accurate GNSS navigation.

A solar flare simulation and dosimetry facility at a proton therapy cyclotron

During extravehicular activities (EVA) astronauts are exposed to intense radiation from solar flare events (SFE). Hence, the radiation shielding efficacy of space suits, in particular the helmets and extra vehicular visor assembly (EVVA) are imperative to safety of astronauts and ultimate success of the space mission. At West German Proton Therapy Centre Essen (WPE) we have replicated the historical solar flare spectra by manipulating the treatment planning system (TPS) of the 230 MeV proton-therapy cyclotron and developed novel proton irradiation and dosimetry methods for the testing of space borne devices as mentioned above. We have used a single foil of radiochromic film (type EBT 2) to estimate the proton depth dose distribution in the human eye. The optimal thickness of EVVA (acryl glass) for the protection from solar flares was estimated to be 2.35 cm. A maximum SFE proton dose up to 20 Gy found to be well assessed using the EBT 2 films.

Chronology of Formation of Solar Radio Burst Types III and V Associated with Solar Flare Phenomenon on 19th September 2011

The formation of two different solar bursts, type III and V in one solar flare event is presented. Both bursts are found on 19th September 2011 associated with C-class flares on active region 1295. From the observation, we believed that the mechanism of evolution the bursts play an important role in the event. It is found that type V burst appeared in five minutes after type III. There are a few active regions on the solar disk but most are magnetically simple and have remained rather quiet. An interpretation of this new result depends critically on the number of sunspots and the role of active region 1295. Sunspot number is increased up to 144 with seven sunspots can be observed. During that event, the speed of solar wind exceeds 433.8 km/second with 2.0 g/cm3 density of protons in the solar corona. Currently, radio flux is also high up to 150 SFU. The solar flare type C6 is continuously being observed in the X-ray region for 24 hours since 1541 UT and a maximum C1 is detected on 1847 UT. Although the sources of both bursts are same, the direction and ejection explode differently. It is believed that the ejection of particles in a type III burst is higher than solar burst type V.
