项目摘要

This proposal supports the collaboration of Dr. Mukul Kundu of the Department of Astronomy , University of Maryland at College Park and Dr. Takashi Sakurai of the National Astronomical Observatory, Mitaka, Japan. Project funding will permit Dr. Kundu to spend 6 months in Japan, resident in Mitaka, in order to study the sun's corona using simultaneously obtained X-ray and radio observations with the Japanese Space mission Yohkoh and ground based radio telescopes. Dr. Kundu has made pioneering contributions to the knowledge of the sun's corona using combined radio and X-ray imaging data. Dr. Sakurai will bring his theoretical expertise to the problem of studying solar active regions and flares from the point of view of magnetic energy storage and trigger mechanisms. They will jointly study a broad range of solar coronal phenomena : study of X-ray emission above sunspots, study of radio emission associated with coronal jets, study of the evolution of active regions in terms of flare productivity. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working in the area of solar coronal physics. The U.S. scientist will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques related to Yohkoh X-ray techniques while contributing to the overall research effort. Therefore this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration.

该提案支持马里兰大学帕克分校天文学系的 Mukul Kundu 博士和日本三鹰国家天文台的 Takashi Sakurai 博士的合作。项目资金将使 Kundu 博士能够在日本三鹰市居住 6 个月，以便利用日本太空任务 Yohkoh 和地面射电望远镜同时获得的 X 射线和射电观测数据来研究太阳日冕。 Kundu 博士利用无线电和 X 射线成像数据的结合，为了解太阳日冕做出了开创性贡献。樱井博士将从磁能存储和触发机制的角度，将他的理论专业知识应用于研究太阳活动区域和耀斑的问题。他们将共同研究广泛的太阳日冕现象：研究太阳黑子上方的X射线发射、研究与日冕喷流相关的无线电发射、研究活动区域在耀斑生产力方面的演化。该提案汇集了来自两个国家从事太阳日冕物理领域研究的科学家。这位美国科学家将有机会熟悉与 Yohkoh X 射线技术相关的研究技术，同时为整体研究工作做出贡献。因此，该提案实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。
