Solar Radio Bursts and their Applications in Space Weather Forecasting

Solar radio bursts are pronounced emissions at radio wavelengths originating from the Sun, intricately linked with powerful solar activities such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These emissions not only provide insights into the underlying physical processes of these solar activities but also act as harbingers of impending space weather changes. Recognizing their importance can have profound implications for both astrophysical research and practical applications.

The primary intent of this proposed research topic is to delve deeper into the physical mechanisms behind the various categories of solar radio bursts, (Type I~V, S, Zebra, etc.). A particular emphasis will be placed on the fine structures observed within these bursts, including features like spike bursts, herringbones, and intriguing zebra patterns. Furthermore, in an era where space weather predictions have become paramount for various technological and space endeavors, the potential utility of these solar radio bursts as predictive tools will be explored.

Contributors are invited to shed light on a diverse range of areas related to this topic. Key themes of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Fundamental radiation mechanisms driving solar radio bursts.
• Particle acceleration processes involved.
• Novel space weather prediction methodologies leveraging solar radio bursts.
• Calibration techniques for solar radio spectrometers and telescopes.
• Any innovative approaches or theoretical frameworks addressing the fine structures in the solar radio bursts.

Manuscripts addressing these themes will be particularly valued, although novel perspectives or methodologies outside these specified areas, but within the overarching theme, are also encouraged.
