The is a typical
picture that NASA uses to illustrate a context of solar flares. particles
acceleration occurred somewhere for some reason, and stream down to radiate
some other places, either loop-top and foot points in this case.(We have to
put all the observed radiations back into such a picture.) Here are some specific issues that we need
to address: colored orange is the most often discussed issues, the green is a
rarely discsuused, the puple—never discussed-isotropy assumed.: First
(indicate the left picture) we want to know how much the observed radiation
properties are due to acceleration properties (ultimate goal) and not due to any transport effect. Often
talked about Transport—could be trap and precipitation, and etc. Good
precipitation could meaning pitch angle diffusion and good trapping—weak
diffusion or strong magnetic mirroring, etc. In some cases all the things in
the left column could be related to each other while all the things in the
right could be, but not always. In many cases we would not really know, for
instance, how much is due to acceleration effect and how much is due to the
transport effect. So we got to make
use of the microwave spectrum to help sorting out these issues. So we tried to relate the spectral
observation made at OVSA to the science listed up there.
