Exploring Coronal Structures in Metric-Decametric Radio Imaging
crossref(2023)
Abstract
<p>Large-scale solar coronal structures may have very different signatures in low-frequency metric-decametric interferometric images than their optical/EUV counterparts, or even at higher frequencies. Notable examples are coronal holes and streamers. This may be due to scattering effects of the thermal emission in the corona, or to unexpected mechanisms contributing to the overall emission at these frequencies, such as gyrosynchrotron emission. In this work, we explore the effects of frequency and emission mechanisms (thermal and gyrosynchrotron) on large-scale coronal structures, comparing data with synthetic observations based on global magnetohydrodynamic modeling and forward modeling. We analyze observations by the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) and Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescopes in a frequency range between 20-250 MHz. We address the unanswered question of why coronal holes often appear bright in the lowest frequencies observable on the ground, and whether this changes with the observer’s viewpoint. We attempt to segment and classify large-scale coronal structures based on their multiwavelength appearance and emission mechanism.</p>
