Solar flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) are the major solar explosive events for producing energetic particles. Among the electromagnetic spectrum, the radio emission is particularly used to diagnose the particle acceleration and transport processes in solar atmosphere or in the interplanetary space, and thus can provide information on the dynamic properties of energetic electrons in solar explosions. Students in the summer program will analyze the radio emissions produced by solar flares, CME-driven socks, or interplanetary shocks, and identify the acceleration sources based on the ground-based (e.g., EOVSA) and space-borne measurements (e.g., WIND, STEREO, PSP and SDO spacecraft). In addition to the data analysis, students can learn the magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration theories related to the solar eruptive phenomena.
