Solar Microwave Spectroscopy at Owens Valley During Max '91

首席研究员（PI）寻求解决太阳能问题 在上一个太阳周期中被认为是 值得特别注意的问题：协调观测太阳活动 从伽马射线到X射线 红外线和无线电波区域。 PI建议将重点放在 太阳微波观测，这是相对较新的， 全色方法。 特别是，PI建议使用和扩大频率- 敏捷干涉仪在欧文斯谷，其高空间和 光谱分辨率，并通过微波研究太阳活动 成像和光谱学。 用这台干涉仪观测 能准确测定活性物质的强度和分布 区域磁场和定位和参数化热和非 加速过程中高能电子的热分布 照明弹

The Principal Investigator (PI) seeks to address an issue of solar physics that was recognized during the previous solar cycle as deserving particular attention: Coordinated observations of solar activity over a wide range of wavelengths from gamma- and X-rays to the infrared and radio wave regimes. The PI proposes to focus on solar microwave observations, which are relatively new in this panchromatic approach. In particular, the PI proposes to use and to expand the frequency- agile interferometer at Owens Valley, with its high spatial and spectral resolutions, and to study solar activity by microwave imaging and spectroscopy. Observations with this interferometer can accurately determine the strength and distribution of active- region magnetic fields and locate and parameterize thermal and non- thermal distributions of high energy electrons accelerated during flares.
