VIRAC leading researcher Dmitrijs Bezrukovs carried out microwave observations of the Sun in a wide range of wavelengths
sept. 30, 2020
The current 11-year solar activity cycle has begun. That means that in next five or six years the number of sunspots and active regions can be expected to grow, and the resulting Sun impact on Earth will also increase.
At the moment, a rather expressive and typical bipolar active region, which has been given the sequence number NOAA 12773, can be seen on the Sun.
From 22-25 September Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Centre leading researcher Dmitrijs Bezrukovs with a telesopce RT-32 carried out microwave observations of the Sun in a wide range of wavelenghts which showed the movements and development of the active region these days.
Observations of the Sun active regions in a wide range of wavelengths are necessary to analyse and study the phenomena, causes and regularities of activity occuring in the Sun's Corona, as well as to predict the potential effects of the Sun on Earth.
