Using a new type of oscillation map, made from the radio spectra by the wavelet technique, we study the 18 April 2014 M7.3 flare (SOL2014-04-18T13:03:00L245C017). We find a quasi-periodic character of this flare with periods in the range 65-115 seconds. At the very beginning of this flare, in connection with the drifting pulsation structure (plasmoid ejection) we find the 65-115 s oscillation phase drifting slowly towards lower frequencies, which indicates an upward propagating wave initiated at the start of the magnetic reconnection. In the drifting pulsation structure many periods (1-200 seconds) are found documenting multi-scale and multi-periodic processes. On this drifting structure fiber bursts with a characteristic period of about one second are superimposed, whose frequency drift is similar to that of the drifting 65-115 s oscillation phase. We also check periods found in this flare by EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS)/Hinode and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) observations. We recognize the type III bursts (electron beams) as proposed, but their time coincidence with the EIS and IRIS peaks is not very good. This is probably due to the radio spectrum beeing a whole-disk record consisting of all bursts from any location while the EIS and IRIS peaks are emitted only from locations of slits in the EIS and IRIS observations.

One of the most important products of solar flares are nonthermal energetic particles which may carry up to 50% energy releasing in the flaring processes. In radio observations, nonthermal particles generally manifest as spectral fine structures with fast frequency drifting rates, named as solar fast drifting radio bursts (FDRBs). This work demonstrated three types of FDRBs, including type III pair bursts, narrow band stochastic spike bursts following the type III bursts and spike-like bursts superimposed on type II burst in an X1.3 flare on 2014 April 25. We find that although all of them have fast frequency drifting rates, but they are intrinsically different from each other in frequency bandwidth, drifting rate and the statistical distributions. We suggest that they are possibly generated from different accelerating mechanisms. The type III pair bursts may be triggered by high-energy electron beams accelerated by the flaring magnetic reconnection, spike bursts are produced by the energetic electrons accelerated by a termination shock wave triggered by the fast reconnecting plasma outflows impacting on the flaring looptop, and spike-like bursts are possibly generated by the nonthermal electrons accelerated by moving magnetic reconnection triggered by the interaction between CME and the background magnetized plasma. These results may help us to understand the generation mechanism of nonthermal particles and energy release in solar flares.
We use EDGES measurements to determine scale and zero-level corrections to the diffuse radio surveys by Guzman et al. at $45$ MHz and Landecker & Wielebinski at $150$ MHz. We find that the Guzman et al. map requires a scale correction of $1.076 pm 0.034$ ($2sigma$) and a zero-level correction of $-160 pm 78$ K ($2sigma$) to best-fit the EDGES data. For the Landecker & Wielebinski map, the scale correction is $1.112 pm 0.023$ ($2sigma$) and the zero-level correction is $0.7 pm 6.0$ K ($2sigma$). The correction uncertainties are dominated by systematic effects, of which the most significant are uncertainty in the calibration of the EDGES receivers, antenna pointing, and tropospheric and ionospheric effects. We propagate the correction uncertainties to estimate the uncertainties in the corrected maps themselves and find that the $2sigma$ uncertainty in the map brightness temperature is in the range $3.2-7.5%$ for the Guzman et al. map and $2.1-9.0%$ for the Landecker & Wielebinski map, with the largest percent uncertainties occurring at high Galactic latitudes. The corrected maps could be used to improve existing diffuse low-frequency radio sky models, which are essential tools in analyses of cosmological $21$ cm observations, as well as to investigate the existence of a radio monopole excess above the cosmic microwave background and known Galactic and extragalactic contributions.
We observed the flare stars AD Leonis, Wolf 424, EQ Pegasi, EV Lacertae, and UV Ceti for nearly 135 hours. These stars were observed between 63 and 83 MHz using the interferometry mode of the Long Wavelength Array. Given that emission from flare stars is typically circularly polarized, we used the condition that any significant detection present in Stokes I must also be present in Stokes V at the same time in order for us to consider it a possible flare. Following this, we made one marginal flare detection for the star EQ Pegasi. This flare had a flux density of 5.91 Jy in Stokes I and 5.13 Jy in Stokes V, corresponding to a brightness temperature $1.75 times 10^{16}(r/r_*)^{-2}$ K.
We present a multiwavelength analysis of the long duration flare observed on 15 April 2002 (soft X-ray peak time at 03:55 UT, SOL2002-04-15T03:55). This flare occurred on the disk (S15W01) in NOAA 9906 and was observed by a number of space instruments including the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO/EIT), the RESIK spectrometer onboard the Coronas-F spacecraft, and the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI). We have performed a complex analysis of these measurements and studied the morphology and physical parameters characterizing the conditions in flaring plasmas. The 195 A SOHO/EIT images have been used to study evolution of flaring loops. Analysis of RHESSI data provided the opportunity for a detailed analysis of hard X-ray emission with 1 keV energy resolution. We have used Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) observations for isothermal interpretation of the X-ray measurements. Temperature diagnostics of the flaring plasma have been carried out by means of a differential emission measure (DEM) analysis based on RESIK X-ray spectra.
We report a detailed examination of the red asymmetry of H-alpha emission line seen during the 2001 April 10 solar flare by using a narrowband filtergram. We investigated the temporal evolution and the spatial distribution of the red asymmetry by using the H-alpha data taken with the 60cm Domeless Solar Telescope at Hida Observatory, Kyoto University. We confirmed that the red asymmetry clearly appeared all over the flare ribbons, and the strong red asymmetry is located on the outer narrow edges of the flare ribbons, with the width of about 1.5 - 3.0 (1000 - 2000 km), where the strong energy releases occur. Moreover, we found that the red asymmetry, which also gives a measure of the Doppler shift of the H-alpha emission line concentrates on a certain value, not depending on the intensity of the H-alpha kernels. This implies not only that the temporal evolutions of the red asymmetry and those of the intensity are not in synchronous in each flare kernel, but also that the peak asymmetry (or velocity of the chromospheric condensation) of individual kernel is not a strong function of their peak intensity.
