Analysis of Radio Signatures Associated with the Origin, Nature, Dynamics and Interrelationship of Solar Transient Phenomena

这项建议的目的是利用对太阳的无线电、白光和X射线观测以及现场等离子体和粒子数据，提供时间和动态限制，从而从物理学角度更好地了解影响近地空间环境的各种太阳瞬变现象（如日冕物质抛射和太阳高能粒子）的起源、性质、动态和相互关系。PI的目标是确定太阳射电数据的解释如何受益于补充太阳观测所施加的约束，反之亦然。PI将侧重于三个相互关联的领域：日冕物质抛射（CME）的起源和动力学，加速太阳高能粒子的起源和传播，以及CME产生的无线电发射的太阳周期比较。为了进行这些调查，将利用地面无线电观测、软X射线和硬X射线数据、日冕物质抛射高度-时间和密度数据、太阳图像以及现场太阳风等离子体和粒子数据来增强来自Wind、EEE、ISEE-3和最终STEREO航天器的低频无线电数据。将在适当的物理模型范围内对这些不同的观测结果进行分析，以便从数量上了解这些太阳瞬变现象的相互关系及其与空间气象的相关性。这些全面的分析将增进跟踪日冕物质抛射和太阳高能粒子事件所需的知识，以改进空间天气预测，并量化这些太阳瞬变在11年太阳黑子周期内的特征和动态。他还将在收到这些数据时分析个别II型事件。这些初步分析的结果将通过电子邮件发送给其他研究人员和空间气象预报员。除了预测日冕物质抛射的速度分布和到达地球的时间外，PI的分析还将有助于将特定的太阳事件与空间天气事件联系起来。PI将继续参加跨学科会议和研讨会[例如，SHINE，国际太阳周期研究（ISCS）和Elmau/ISSI CME研讨会]，他将保持和加强与悉尼大学理论小组的合作，包括他们的博士学位。学生

The objective of this proposal is to use radio, white-light, and X-ray observations of the Sun, as well as in-situ plasma and particle data, to provide temporal and dynamic constraints that will lead to a better physics-based understanding of the origin, nature, dynamics, and interrelationship of individual solar transient phenomena (such as CMEs and solar energetic particles) that affect the near-Earth space environment. The PI's goal is to determine how the interpretation of solar radio data can benefit from the constraints imposed by complementary solar observations, and vice versa. The PI will focus on three interrelated areas: Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) origin and dynamics, the origin and propagation of accelerated solar energetic particles, and solar cycle comparisons of CME-generated radio emissions. To carry out these investigations, the low frequency radio data from the Wind, Ulysses, ISEE-3, and eventually STEREO spacecraft will be augmented with ground-based radio observations, as well as with soft and hard X-ray data, CME height-time and density data, solar images, and in-situ solar wind plasma and particle data. These various observations will be analyzed, within the context of appropriate physical models, to achieve a quantitative understanding of the interrelation of these solar transient phenomena and their relevance to space weather. These comprehensive analyses will advance the knowledge needed to track CMEs and solar energetic particle events to improve space weather predictions, as well as to quantify the characteristics and dynamics of these solar transients over the 11-year sunspot cycle.Contributing to broader impacts, the PI will establish and maintain a web-based public database of observed type II/IV radio events. He will also analyze individual type II events as these data are received. The results of these preliminary analyses will be e-mailed to other researchers and space weather forecasters. In addition to predicting the velocity profiles and Earth arrival times of CMEs, the PI's analyses will also help correlate particular solar events with space weather events. The PI will continue his participation in interdisciplinary conferences and workshops [e.g., SHINE, International Solar Cycle Studies (ISCS), and the Elmau/ISSI CME Workshops] and he will maintain and strengthen his collaboration with the theory group at the University of Sydney, including their Ph.D. students.
