Topical collection of Solar Physics journal “Solar radio physics from the chromosphere to near Earth” was completed and published. The volume contains 16 articles and provides a snapshot of the developments and challenges that were discussed during the CESRA workshop.
The 2016 CESRA workshop had a special emphasis on the complementarity of current and future space-based observations with ground-based radio observations. It was the place to discuss the new exciting science opportunities that arise from radio instruments such as the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA), the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA), the Low Frequency array (LOFAR), the Mingantu Spectral Radioheliograph (MUSER), and the developments of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). The workshop discussions have focused on particle acceleration and transport, the radio diagnostics of coronal mass ejections, fine structures in solar radio bursts, and the radio aspects of space weather.
The collection of papers cover four sub-topics:
- Solar Radio Emission Modelling
- Solar Flares and Solar Energetic Particle
- Fine Structures in Solar Radio Emission
- Coronal Mass Ejections
The workshop received financial support from the University of Orléans, the Observatoire de Paris, and the CNRS/INSU.
The topical collection Editors would like to thank the authors and the referees of the articles as well as the Editors and staff of Solar Physics journal.
