FINE STRUCTURE EVENTS IN MICROWAVE EMISSION DURING SOLAR MINIMUM
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The solar minimum is a period with a relatively smaller number of sunspots and solar eruptions, and has been less studied before. Since the radio signal rapidly responds to the change of solar plasma and magnetic field, we perform a comprehensive analysis of high resolution spectrum data from SBRS and MUSER: 1) a search for solar radio bursts of different kinds in recent solar minima (2007–2009 and 2016–2018); 2) an analysis of several typical radio burst events, negative and positive drifting bursts, for example the November 22, 2015 and August 29, 2016 events; superfine spectral structure events with mini-flares and even without sunspots, for example the March 28, 2008 and July 04, 2017 events. These results show that there were many radio bursts with a fine structure during solar minima. These events occurred not only in powerful flares, but also in faint flares (class C and B by GOES) or even without flares, but in regions related to weak brightenings or ejecta. We assume that the weak solar radio bursts observed by telescopes with high sensitivity and low interference will help us to understand the basic physical characteristics of small-scale solar eruptions.

INTERACTIVE COMPUTER MODEL FOR AURORA FORECAST AND ANALYSIS
An interactive computer model of a short-term (with a horizon 30–70 min) forecast of aurora intensity has been developed in the form of a web-based geoinformation system. The OVATION-Prime empirical model is used as the...
METEOR TRAIL DRIFT RESEARCH BASED ON BASELINE OBSERVATIONS
We analyze the results of a rare long-lived quasisymmetric ellipsoidal-annular meteor trail recorded on November 18, 2017 by two optical all-sky cameras, spaced at a distance of 150 km. The analysis is based on astrometr...
SIGNS OF ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOR OF THE IONOSPHERE IN 2003–2014 AT F1-LAYER HEIGHTS OVER IRKUTSK
We have detected an anomalous electron density Ne increase in winter months in Irkutsk in some years of the period 2003–2014. This effect was manifested when we compared the experimental values obtained by the Irkutsk io...
GALACTIC COSMIC RAY ANISOTROPY MODELLING
We calculate the angular distribution of cosmic rays at a given point of the heliosphere under the assumption that the incoming flux from outer space is isotropic. The static magnetic field is shown to cause no anisotrop...
CALCULATING THE IONIZATION RATE INDUCED BY GCR AND SCR PROTONS IN EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE
This paper explores the applied use of the RUSCOSMICS software package [http://ruscosmics.ru] designed to simulate propagation of primary cosmic ray (CR) particles through Earth’s atmosphere and collect information about...
