Radio Emissions from the Sun's Corona
Abstract
A review of recent observations of coronal radio emissions will be presented, with particular reference to flares and weak coronal transients, and their relationships to emissions in other spectral domains.The radio emissions to be discussed are obtained with large radio interferometers such as the Very Large Array (VLA) in USA,the Nobeyama Radio Heliograph (NoRH) in Japan,the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Millimeter Array (BIMA), and the Nancay(France) metric radio heliograph. Selected imaging observations of solar flares and transients at all wavelengths will be emphasized, providing information on the structure and spatial location of flaring radio sources with respect to flaring soft X-ray loops and hard X-ray sources. Observational evidence will be presented on acceleration of electrons to MeV energies and of the existence of different energetic electron populations in solar flares.
