SOLAR ACTIVITY RESEARCH AT THE BAIKAL ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY OF ISTP SB RAS
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the main results of solar studies carried out at the Baikal Astrophysical Observatory (BAO) of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics SB RAS (ISTP SB RAS) for 40 years. It outlines the history of BAO and lists its telescopes. Much attention is given to the Large Solar Vacuum Telescope (LSVT) designed to observe solar formations with high spatial and spectral resolution. Technical parameters of this instrument are specified along with some results of the studies carried out with it. Information about the full-disk chromospheric telescope and scientific problems solved with it is represented together with the basic scientific results. The telescope is used to study solar activity complexes and solar flares. References to the basic publications that have used BAO results are presented.

DEFINITION OF THE ALFVÉN MODE IN INHOMOGENEOUS MAGNETIC FIELD
The article is methodological and defines the concept of the linear Alfvén mode. There are two definitions — electrodynamic and hydrodynamic. In the former, the Alfvén mode is considered a wave with a potential transvers...
CALIBRATION OF SIBERIAN RADIOHELIOGRAPH ANTENNA GAINS USING REDUNDANCY
The paper describes application of standard gain calibration using redundancy for a 48-antenna prototype of Siberian Radioheliograph. Traditionally, for calibration, the visibilities were measured only between adjacent a...
METHOD FOR CALCULATING TORSIONAL OSCILLATIONS IN EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE FROM NCEP/NCAR, MERRA-2, ECMWF ERA-40, AND ERA-INTERIM
In this paper, we describe a method for calculating low-frequency zonal-mean zonal wind variations, which we call torsional oscillations. We compare the torsional oscillations calculated from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis I,...
Ultra low frequency emissions ranging from 0.1 to 3 Hz in circumpolar areas
We examine the characteristics of oscillations of two types in the high-frequency edge of the ULF range (0.1–3 Hz), serpentine emission (SE), and discrete frequency dispersed signals (DS). Oscillations of both the types...
DETERMINATION OF ELF WAVE CHARACTERISTICS MOST STRONGLY REACTING TO MINOR CHANGES OF IONOSPHERIC ELECTRON DENSITY IN A HIGH-LATITUDE REGION
In this paper, we use numerical experiment methods to address the problem of determining characteristics of ELF (0.3–3 kHz) electromagnetic waves recorded in the surface layer and providing the maximum amount of informat...
