Solar Flares As Observed In The Low Frequency Microwave Gyrosynchrotron Emission, Shaheda Begum Shaik

Dissertations

Solar flares involve the sudden catastrophic release of magnetic energy stored in the Sun’s corona. This dissertation focuses on investigating the low frequency, optically-thick gyrosynchrotron emission during solar flares for its spatial and spectral dynamics, characteristics, and role in the flare process.

The first part of this dissertation first addresses the spectral dynamics and characteristics of the source morphology. The high-resolution spectra of a set of microwave bursts observed by the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) during its commissioning phase in the 2.5-18 GHz frequency range with 1-s time resolution are presented here. Out of the 12 events analyzed …
