Voyager 1 Planetary Radio Astronomy Observations Near Jupiter
Results are reported from the first low frequency radio receiver to be transported into the Jupiter magnetosphere. Dramatic new information was obtained both because Voyager was near or in Jupiter's radio emission sources and also because it was outside the relatively dense solar wind plasma of the inner solar system. Extensive radio arcs, from above 30 MHz to about 1 MHz, occurred in patterns correlated with planetary longitude. A newly discovered kilometric wavelength radio source may relate to the plasma torus near Io's orbit. In situ wave resonances near closest approach define an electron density profile along the Voyager trajectory and form the basis for a map of the torus. Studies in progress are outlined briefly
Decay time of type III solar bursts observed at kilometric wavelengths
Type III bursts were observed between 3.5 MHz and 50 kHz by the University of Michigan radio astronomy experiment aboard the OGO-5 satellite.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43731/1/11207_2004_Article_BF00156186.pd
Geomagnetic origin of the radio emission from cosmic ray induced air showers observed by CODALEMA
The new setup of the CODALEMA experiment installed at the Radio Observatory
in Nancay, France, is described. It includes broadband active dipole antennas
and an extended and upgraded particle detector array. The latter gives access
to the air shower energy, allowing us to compute the efficiency of the radio
array as a function of energy. We also observe a large asymmetry in counting
rates between showers coming from the North and the South in spite of the
symmetry of the detector. The observed asymmetry can be interpreted as a
signature of the geomagnetic origin of the air shower radio emission. A simple
linear dependence of the electric field with respect to vxB is used which
reproduces the angular dependencies of the number of radio events and their
electric polarity.Comment: 9 pages, 15 figures, 1 tabl
Quasi-periodic acceleration of electrons by a plasmoid-driven shock in the solar atmosphere
Cosmic rays and solar energetic particles may be accelerated to relativistic
energies by shock waves in astrophysical plasmas. On the Sun,
shocks and particle acceleration are often associated with the eruption
of magnetized plasmoids, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
However, the physical relationship between CMEs and shock particle
acceleration is not well understood. Here, we use extreme ultraviolet,
radio and white-light imaging of a solar eruptive event on 22 September
2011 to show that a CME-induced shock (Alfvén Mach number 2:4+0:7
-0:8) was coincident with a coronal wave and an intense metric radio burst
generated by intermittent acceleration of electrons to kinetic energies
of 2{46 keV (0.1{0.4 c). Our observations show that plasmoid-driven
quasi-perpendicular shocks are capable of producing quasi-periodic acceleration
of electrons, an effect consistent with a turbulent or rippled
plasma shock surface
