Radio waves in the heliosphere
Convener: Nicolina ChrysaphiECSECS | Co-conveners: Xingyao Chen, Henrik EklundECSECS, Hamish Reid

Radio waves are ubiquitous in the heliosphere. Sources range from thermal emission due to the quiet Sun, radio bursts emitted by accelerated electrons from transient solar eruptions, planetary magnetospheres, and spacecraft and extra-solar sources whose signals propagate through the heliosphere. Together, these radio emissions provide powerful diagnostics of the Sun and the heliospheric environment. This session is devoted to the fundamental processes underlying radio-wave generation and propagation, and the broad range of heliospheric diagnostics enabled by radio emissions from GHz to kHz, whether of solar or extra-solar origin. We welcome contributions on a range of radio-focused topics, including gyrosynchrotron emission from the solar atmosphere, excitation of Langmuir waves and the resulting radio-wave production, as well as radio-wave generation in laboratory plasmas. We also encourage contributions that exploit radio observations to diagnose solar and heliospheric conditions, including investigations of density turbulence, magnetic fields, particle acceleration regions, and radio-wave propagation effects. Contributions related to space-weather applications, studies that combine observations and simulations, advances in radio instrumentation, and multi-wavelength, multi-instrument, multi-vantage point investigations are particularly welcome.
