The Sun is an active source of radio emission which is often associated with energetic phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). At low radio frequencies (<100 MHz), the Sun has not been imaged extensively because of the instrumental limitations of previous radio telescopes. Here, the combined high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution of the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) was used to study solar Type III radio bursts at 30-90 MHz and their association with CMEs. The Sun was imaged with 126 simultaneous tied-array beams within 5 solar radii of the solar centre. This method offers benefits over standard interferometric imaging since each beam produces high temporal (83 ms) and spectral resolution (12.5 kHz) dynamic spectra at an array of spatial locations centred on the Sun. LOFAR's standard interferometric output is currently limited to one image per second. Over a period of 30 minutes, multiple Type III radio bursts were observed, a number of which were found to be located at high altitudes (4 solar radii from the solar center at 30 MHz) and to have non-radial trajectories. These bursts occurred at altitudes in excess of values predicted by 1D radial electron density models. The non-radial high altitude Type III bursts were found to be associated with the expanding flank of a CME. The CME may have compressed neighbouring streamer plasma producing larger electron densities at high altitudes, while the non-radial burst trajectories can be explained by the deflection of radial magnetic fields as the CME expanded in the low corona.

太阳产生高度动态和爆发的事件,可以驱动冲击通过日冕。这些冲击可以加速电子,从而导致以II型射电爆发形式的等离子体发射。尽管有大量的II型射电暴观测,日冕冲击的确切起源仍然有待调查。在这里,我们提出了一个观测良好的太阳爆发事件发生在2015年10月16日,重点是大气成像组件(SDO/AIA)在极紫外(EUV)中观察到的喷流,大角度和光谱日冕仪(SOHO/LASCO)在白光中观察到的流光,以及低频率阵列(LOFAR)观察到的米制II型射电爆发。LOFAR干涉成像的基本和谐波源的第二类射电爆发,并透露,源似乎并不共空间,将预期从等离子体发射机制。我们使用一个模型,该模型占无线电波的散射在湍流等离子体中的电子密度波动的基波和谐波之间的分离进行校正。这使我们能够显示II型射电源位于喷流上方$\sim$ 0.5 R $_\odot$,并以$\sim$ 1000 km $^{-1}$的速度传播,这明显快于$\sim$ 200 km $^{-1}$的喷流速度。这表明II型爆发是由低日冕中的射流驱动的活塞冲击产生的。

III型射电暴是温和相对论性电子束从低日冕传播到日光层的等离子体发射的结果,如果它们与日光层航天器的位置对齐,最终可以在原地检测到。在这里,我们观察到一个III型射电爆发从0.1-16兆赫使用帕克太阳探测器(PSP)领域的射频频谱仪(RFS),并从20-80兆赫使用低频阵列(LOFAR)。该事件与任何可检测到的耀斑活动无关,但属于PSP遭遇2期间发生的持续III型噪声风暴的一部分。LOFAR射电源向三维空间的反投影表明,III型射电爆发源位于1.6-3 R $_\odot$的开放磁场上,起源于东经48 $^o$附近的近赤道活动区。结合PSP/RFS观测与风/波和立体声/波,我们重建的第三类射电源轨迹在日光层内部PSP的位置,假设黄道约束。随后在STEREO-A航天器上在兼容的时间原位检测到高能电子增强,尽管开始和持续时间表明单独的爆发有助于增强的一个子集。这项工作表明,日冕中相对小规模的通量出现可以导致电子束从低日冕注入日光层,而不需要强烈的太阳耀斑。这项研究还明确强调了地面和天基无线电观测相结合的互补性,特别是在PSP时代。

太阳射电爆发(英语:Solar Radio Burst,简称SRB)通常在动态光谱中观测到,并有五个主要的光谱类别,根据其形状和频率和时间的范围被标记为I型到V型。由于其复杂的特性,太阳射电物理学的一个挑战是自动检测和分类这种无线电爆发。近年来,由于诸如低频阵列(LOFAR)等先进射电望远镜产生的大数据率,SRB的分类已成为基本问题。当前最先进的算法实现Hough或Radon变换作为检测图像中的预定义参数形状的手段。这些算法达到高达84%的准确率,这取决于被分类的无线电突发的类型。其他技术包括依赖于恒定假警报率检测的程序,其本质上是使用动态频谱中的去噪和自适应阈值来检测无线电突发。它适用于各种不同类型的无线电突发,并达到高达70%的准确度。在这项研究中,我们引入了一种名为You Only Look Once v2(YOLOv2)的太阳射电爆发分类方法。利用III型模拟方法,我们可以训练算法,实时准确地对真实的III型太阳射电爆发进行分类。
