Analysis of quiet-Sun radio observations using the decametric telescope UTR-2

Koval A.A.

Institute of Radio Astronomy, NAS of Ukraine

Abstract

In this work some important features of quiet-Sun radio emission are studied by the antenna array of UTR-2. Here we use two basic methods of observations, by scans and by heliograph. The ways of getting the most reliable results are discussed.

Keywords: quiet Sun; decametric range; radiotelescope UTR-2; heliograph; Radon transformation
