Sweep-Frequency Measurements of Solar Bursts

  • Chapter
Solar System Radio Astronomy

Abstract

For more than a decade, sweep-frequency studies of solar nonthermal radio emission have been carried out in the metric and decametric wavelength ranges. These include information on the polarization and position of bursts and other events. The original phenomenology proposed by Wild and associates at Sydney appears still to be valid; although complications have appeared, they do not vitiate the concepts of bursts generated at and near the plasma frequency by outward traveling disturbances in the corona. A new phenomenon, continuum outbursts associated with violent solar activity, was identified more recently in France. Its description at various observing wavelengths from decametric to centimetric ranges has proceeded apace.
