Funded Activity Summary

Integrated Observation, Theory, and Simulation of Type II Solar Radio Bursts. Type II solar radio bursts are associated with solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and space weather events at Earth. They are the archetype of collective radio emission associated with shocks. This project aims to: answer longstanding fundamental scientific questions about type IIs using the new Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) and NASA spacecraft, while developing a new Australian capability in solar radio physics; perform new observations and theoretical calculations of relevant emission mechanisms, and, develop a new integrated data-tested theory and simulation capability for type II bursts that explains the emissions quantitatively, and positions us to predict the arrival of CMEs and related space weather at Earth.
