Database of Whistler-mode Chorus in the Equatorial Plane
Macúšová, E. ; Santolík, Ondřej
Chorus emission is one of the most intense electromagnetic waves. Its source region is localised close to the geomagnetic equatorial plane within a few degrees. We present a unique database of whistler-mode chorus/hiss events obtained from the complete data set of wave measurements provided by the STAFF/DWP wave instrument on board TC-1 spacecraft. The TC-1 is one of two Earth orbiting satellites from the Double Star mission and it orbits close to the equatorial plane. Some instruments onboard both spacecraft are identical to those currently flying on the four Cluster spacecraft. The data base covers the full operational period of the spacecraft, between January 2004 and October 2007. All the events have been visually selected from the onboard-analyzed time-frequency spectrograms of magnetic search-coil measurements below 4 kHz.
Estimation of the Apparent Source Size of Solar Radio Emissions Using SVD: An Application to Type III Radio Bursts at Long Wavelengths Observed by STEREO and Wind
Krupař, Vratislav ; Santolík, Ondřej ; Cecconi, B. ; Maksimovic, M.
Type III radio bursts are intense solar radio emissions. They are frequently observed by the S/Waves instruments on-board the STEREO spacecraft. We describe a wave propagation analysis using the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) which can be directly applied to spectral matrices measured by the High Frequency Receiver (HFR; a part of the S/Waves experiment). We have found an empirical relation between the decomposed spectral matrices and apparent source sizes for waves with a low degree of polarization. We present a joint observation of a type III radio burst by the STEREO and Wind spacecraft during small separation distances. We obtain consistent results for the apparent source size and k-vector direction using different analysis method for the measurements of the STEREO and Wind spacecraft. We demonstrate that SVD can be an effective tool for the wave analysis of radio emissions with very extended sources.
