Type II solar radio bursts: theory and space weather implications

IH Cairns, SA Knock, PA Robinson, Z Kuncic - Advances in Space …, 2003 - Springer
Recent data and theory for type II solar radio bursts are reviewed, focusing on a recent
analytic quantitative theory for interplanetary type II bursts. The theory addresses electron …

Generation of highly energetic electrons at reconnection outflow shocks during solar flares

G Mann, A Warmuth, H Aurass - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2009 - aanda.org
Context. During solar flares a large amount of energy is suddenly released and partly
transferred into energetic electrons. They are of special interest since a substantial part of …

Coherent radio emissions associated with solar system shocks

IH Cairns - The Sun, the solar wind, and the heliosphere, 2011 - Springer
Shock waves are associated with multiple powerful coherent radio emissions within the
heliosphere and local interstellar medium. The radio emissions definitely driven by shocks …

Theoretically predicted properties of type II radio emission from an interplanetary foreshock

SA Knock, IH Cairns, PA Robinson… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the causes of variations in interplanetary type II radio bursts using an analytic
model which predicts the emission generated by electron beams in the foreshock regions …

Type II radio bursts: 1. New entirely analytic formalism for the electron beams, Langmuir waves, and radio emission

JM Schmidt, IH Cairns - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Type II radio bursts drift in frequency as shock waves and coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
move through the Sun's corona and the solar wind. This paper extends the theoretical …

Gyroresonant surfing acceleration

Y Kuramitsu, V Krasnoselskikh - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We discuss a new acceleration or energization mechanism of charged particles in space
and astrophysical plasmas. In the presence of an electrostatic potential gradient and a …

Effects of spatial variations in coronal electron and ion temperatures on type III bursts. II. Variations in ion temperature

B Li, IH Cairns, PA Robinson - The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Quasilinear-based simulations are presented for the effects on coronal type III bursts of
spatially varying ion temperature T i in the corona. The simulations use a newly developed …

Theory for 2–3 kHz radiation from the outer heliosphere

JJ Mitchell, IH Cairns… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
High‐intensity radio emission events at 2–3 kHz were observed by the Voyager spacecraft
during 1983–1984 and 1992–1993. Such events are thought to occur when shock waves …

Type III radio bursts perturbed by weak coronal shocks

B Li, IH Cairns - The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Some type III bursts are observed to undergo sudden flux modifications, eg, reductions and
intensifications, when type III beams cross shocks in the upper corona or solar wind. First …

A Quantitative model for terrestrial foreshock radio emissions: 1. Predicted properties

Z Kuncic, IH Cairns, SA Knock - Journal of Geophysical …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We present detailed quantitative results from a theoretical model for fundamental (fp) and
second harmonic (2fp) radio emission generated in Earth's foreshock by beam‐driven …
