CALIBRATION OF SIBERIAN RADIOHELIOGRAPH IMAGES
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
We discuss the method for automatic calibration of solar radio images derived from the first stage of the multiwave Siberian Radioheliograph (SRH-48). SRH is a 48-element T-shaped radiointerferometer in the 4–8 GHz frequency range. Since the end of 2017, the number of frequencies has been increased to 32. The method is implemented in Python programming language. We give examples of calibration for SRH instrument values in brightness temperature of the quiet and active Sun at several frequencies for four eruptive events: June 19, 2017, July 25, 2016, April 24, 2017, and April 19, 2017. In conclusion, we present spectra for three events, as well as brightness temperature estimates by flux, angular size of filaments, and emission measure.

COLOR AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LONG-LIVED METEOR TRAIL FORMED BY THE TUNKA BOLIDE
The paper addresses color characteristics and possible spectral composition of emission of a long-lived (~40 min) meteor trail of uncommon geometry, which was formed due to the bolide passage in the Tunka Valley on Novem...
LONG-TERM SOLAR FLUX OBSERVATIONS WITH IRKUTSK INCOHERENT SCATTER RADAR (IISR) IN 2011–2019
Irkutsk incoherent scatter radar (IISR) is an oblongish horn antenna that operates in a meter waveband (154–162 MHz), has a 0.5°×20° beam, and a frequency steering allowing us to tilt the beam by 30° to the south. Beside...
MUON INTENSITY VARIATIONS AND ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE
Muons in the atmosphere are formed during the decay of pions resulting from nuclear interactions of cosmic rays with nuclei of air atoms. The resulting muons are also unstable particles with a short lifetime. Therefore,...
RESULTS OF WORK OF NEW SPECTROPOLARIMETER FOR SOLAR RADIO EMISSION OBSERVATIONS IN THE RANGE 50–500 MHZ
Ground-based observations within meter radio range are of importance for understanding processes occurring in the solar corona. We present concepts, block diagram, and results of first observations of the Solar Spectropo...
