Solar and jovian events recorded with Yagi antenna at St.Kate's compared to independent researchers

A Yagi antenna registering radio signals in the 17-30 MHz frequency range was used to record solar and Jupiter-Io radio emissions. Jovian radio emissions and the characterization of Type III and other solar bursts has been an active research focus for the last fifty years. We present results recorded from the St. Catherine University radio telescope and compare our events to independent researchers involved in the Radio JOVE radio astronomy project. One area of study is Jupiter- Io radio signals. Non-Io-A events recorded at St. Kate’s are shown in relation to several independent observations. Non-Io-A emissions arise from certain rotational alignments of Jupiter’s magnetic field. Another area of study is solar activity. Most solar bursts recorded in this study are Type III bursts, which are the most commonly observed solar radio bursts at frequencies greater than 1 MHz. Solar radio signals that drift rapidly from low to high frequencies, potentially exhibit harmonics, and are associated with solar flares are characterized as Type III solar bursts. This study is an ongoing effort to characterize Jovian radio emissions and their geometric relation to Io, as well to collect information about solar activity.
