High-Resolution Microwave Observations of the Sun
Abstract
This is the final technical report for grant AFOSR-89-0147 entitled HIGH-RESOLUTION MICROWAVE OBSERVATIONS OF SOLAR ACTIVITY. This report covers the period from 01 November 1988 to 30 April 1992. It contains the abstracts for twenty four (24) presentations at professional meetings (Section II); and reprints of seventeen (17) papers (Section IV). The twenty four (24) professional presentations included meetings of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Committee on Space Research (SOSPAR), the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and the Union Radio Scientifique International (URSI). The Very Large Array (VLA) and the Arecibo Observatory are the world's largest radio telescopes, each operated at enormous expense by the National Science Foundation (NSF); the twenty one (21) successful proposals with these facilities, totaling fifty one (51) days, therefore represent an extremely efficient method of carrying out research by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) that essentially funds salaries for Tufts scientists who use these facilities, analyze the data, and publish the results. Sun: eruptions, flares, origin and prediction of solar activity; Radio emission from coronal loops and filaments; Resolution of the pre-flare, impulsive and decay phases of solar flares; X-ray emission from coronal loops and flares; Solar Maximum Mission satellite; NASA balloon flights of high-energy solar detection; Yohkoh solar satellite; Max 91 VLA campaign.
