Probing Solar Flares Using Radio Imaging Spectroscopy and Advanced Modeling

这一为期3年的项目的主要目的是建立太阳耀斑射电发射和日冕磁结构中电子传输的理论模型。该项目还将开发对太阳耀斑的射电观测进行直接和向前拟合的工具。正向拟合法结合扩展欧文斯谷太阳阵列的高分辨率成像光谱偏振测量，将使太阳-日球界成员能够以前所未有的空间分辨率在动态时间尺度上推算耀斑的物理参数。这将在太阳、恒星物理和天体物理的背景下推进对基本物理过程的现有理解，如磁重联和粒子加速。项目活动将促进科学发现和学习，同时促进新泽西理工学院S日地研究中心的教学和培训。特别是，将作为该项目的一部分开发的工具将广泛用于CSTR的研究生课程，如射电天文学、太阳物理和等离子体物理。该项目的研究和EPO议程支持AGS部门在发现、学习、多样性和跨学科研究方面的战略目标。

The main thrust of this 3-year project is to develop theoretical models of radio emission from solar flares and electron transport in coronal magnetic structures. This project will also develop tools for direct and forward fitting of radio observations of solar flares. The forward fitting combined with high-resolution imaging spectropolarimetry from the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) will enable members of the solar-heliospheric community to derive physical parameters of flares on dynamic time scales with unprecedented spatial resolution. This will advance present understanding of fundamental physical processes, such as magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration, in the context of solar and stellar physics as well as astrophysics.The project activities will advance scientific discovery and learning while promoting teaching and training at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT)'s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR). In particular, the tools to be developed as part of this project will be widely used in graduate-level courses at the CSTR, such as Radio Astronomy, Solar Physics, and Plasma Physics. The research and EPO agenda of this project supports the Strategic Goals of the AGS Division in discovery, learning, diversity, and interdisciplinary research.
