Funded Activity Summary

Solar radio bursts, the origin and properties of the sun's corona and solar wind, and space weather. This project uses solar radio bursts to answer fundamental scientific questions about the Sun, predict space weather events at Earth, and motivate theories for the bursts and shocks. It will discover the corona's origin and where the solar wind is accelerated, understand how shocks reform and accelerate particles, and develop quantitative theories for radio bursts. These discoveries and associated high-level training of staff and students will increase Australia's international scientific standing, expertise, infrastructure, and human capital. It involves international collaborations on NASA's $600M STEREO mission and the MWA radio telescope, among others, and supports the new Decadal Plan for Australian Space Science.
