Combined Radio and Space-based Solar Observations: From Techniques to New Results


Abstract in English

The phenomena observed at the Sun have a variety of unique radio signatures that can be used to diagnose the processes in the solar atmosphere. The insights provided by radio obervations are further enhanced when they are combined with observations from space-based telescopes. This special issue demonstrates the power of combination methodology at work and provides new results on i) type I solar radio bursts and thermal emission to study active regions; ii) type II and IV bursts to better understand the structure of coronal mass ejections; iii)~non-thermal gyro-synchrotron and/or type III bursts to improve characterization of particle acceleration in solar flares. The ongoing improvements in time, frequency, and spatial resolutions of ground-based telescopes reveal new levels of solar phenomena complexity and pose new questions.
