Research Advances of Solar Radio Type Ⅲ Bursts at Space Very Low Frequencies

Abstract

Solar non-thermal high-energy particle flows are one of the main triggering sources of the disastrous space weather events. Their main observational manifestation is radio Type Ⅲ bursts with fast frequency drifting rate. This work introduces the main advances of observational instruments and scientific researches on the solar radio Type Ⅲ bursts at the space very low frequency (< 30 MHz SVLF) in the world, including the space-based or lunar-based solar SVLF spectral polarimeters with high temporal and spectral resolutions. We also discuss carefully the existing problems on the solar radio observations and related researches, also including the main scientific aims and prospective of the space-based or lunar-based solar SVLF observations.
