Solar Flare Emissions from GHz to THz Frequencies

Abstract

Despite the loss of former FA9550-16-1-0072 PI, Prof. P. Kaufmann, research activities and development went smoothly. FA9550-16-1-0072 brought important results on the atmospheric transmission through significant correlations between opacity measurements at 212 and 405 GHz, and PWV. Developments of new instrumental facilities at 30 THz and 16 THz (HATS), their installation, operation and exploration were successful. SOLAR-T stratospheric balloon experiment was well succeeded. Important results from solar flare emissions from microwaves to THz frequencies and mid-IR. The later appears has the low atmosphere response (heating) to energy deposit from precipitated accelerated particles. New insights on the role of secondary particles (electrons, knock-om electrons and positrons) during solar flares were obtained.
