Solar flare is one of the most explosive phenomena in solar system that huge energy is released in a short time and radiation is emitted almost across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, the radio emission is associated with the particle acceleration process in the corona, as well as the transportation process in the lower solar atmosphere or interplanetary space, and thus can provide important information on the acceleration and transport processes of nonthermal electrons in solar flares. Students in the summer program will search for the pre-flare signature based on the ground-based radio measurements (e.g., Solar Board Band Spectrometer, Nobeyama Solar Radio Observatory, or ALMA) and analyze their dynamic properties. In addition to the data analysis, students can learn the flare-related magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration theories.
