Exploring the Circular Polarisation of Low-Frequency Solar Radio Bursts with LOFAR
Kumari, Anshu; Zucca, Pietro; Vocks, Christian +9 more
The Sun is an active star that often produces numerous bursts of electromagnetic radiation at radio wavelengths. Low frequency radio bursts have recently been brought back to light with the advancement of novel radio interferometers. However, their polarisation properties have not yet been explored in detail, especially with the Low Frequency Arra…
A Review of the Extended EUV Corona Observed by the Sun Watcher with Active Pixels and Image Processing (SWAP) Instrument
Berghmans, David; West, Matthew J.; Mierla, Marilena +7 more
The Sun Watcher with Active Pixels and Image Processing (SWAP) instrument onboard ESA's PRoject for On Board Autonomy 2 (PROBA2) has provided the first uncompressed, high-cadence, continuous, large field-of-view observations of the extended extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) corona for over a complete solar cycle. It has helped shape our understanding of t…
Observation of a Flare and Filament Eruption in Lyman-α on 8 September 2011 by the PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy/Large Yield Radiometer (PROBA2/LYRA)
Kretzschmar, M.; Dammasch, I. E.; Dominique, M. +3 more
The Large Yield Radiometer (LYRA) instrument onboard the PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy (PROBA2) observes the solar irradiance in four channels in the UV-EUV. One of these channels is centered around the hydrogen line at 121.6 nm. The solar Lyman-α emission line is an optically thick line mostly formed in the chromosphere. Although it is one of the …
Comparing the Sun Watcher Using Active Pixel System Detector and Image Processing Instrument to the Atmosphere Imaging Assembly Instrument Through Measurements of Polar Coronal Holes
West, Matthew J.; Pesnell, W. Dean; Kirk, Michael S. F. +2 more
The PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy 2/Sun Watcher using Active pixel system detector and image Processing (PROBA2/SWAP) instrument images the full-disk extreme ultraviolet (EUV) Sun using a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor active-pixel sensor (CMOS-APS) detector with a filter centered on a 174 Å passband at a cadence of one to two minutes. In …
