RATAN-600 Radio Telescope in the 24th Solar-Activity Cycle. II. Multi-Octave Spectral and Polarization High-Resolution Solar Research System

摘要

Abstract—Radio astronomy studies of the solar atmosphere possess a very important, not duplicated by other methods, place in the study of solar activity at all stages—from the birth of an active region until its collapse. A significant progress in these studies can be achieved in the implementation of new technical possibilities, such as an increase in the sensitivity of radio telescopes, a detailed spectral analysis over a wide frequency range, high temporal resolution and a broad coverage range in time. We report about the implementation of regular observations with a new spectral and polarization high-resolution system SPHRS, installed at the radio telescope RATAN-600.We describe the concept of the new system and the methods of its implementation.
