Since 2006 IPS observations are carried out using 16-beams Big Scanning Array of Lebedev Physical Institute in monitoring regime. All the sources with scintillating flux greater than 0.2 Jy are recorded daily at the frequency 111MHz during 24 hours in the sky strip of 8o width in declination. Methods of observations and data processing are briefly discussed. Results are presented showing the...

In the first portion of the talk, given on behalf of the IBEX Science Team, we will present observations of Energetic Neutral Atoms from the heliospheric interface region and beyond performed by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft. In addition to the expected signal from the heliospheric interface, IBEX discovered an arc-like, persistent Ribbon of enhanced ENA emissiona in all...

The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) is a new array of radio telescopes centred on the Netherlands with additional stations across Europe. Designed to operate at frequencies from 10 to 250MHz, it is one of a new generation of "software telescopes". Currently, it is in the latter stages of the commissioning phase and a wide variety of scientific experiments are in testing mode. Measurement of...

General contributions throughout the workshop as and when necessary including brief updates on the UCSD tomography routines, use of EISCAT/ESR/MERLIN/LOFAR for observations of IPS, future aspirations for obersations of IPS, and other relevant topics of discussion.

A complex solar eruption occurred at the beginning of August 2010 releasing a disappearing filament and a halo CME on an Earthward trajectory from Region 1092. The first ICME arrived on August 3rd followed by a second stronger ICME on the 4th; both were traveling at approximately a factor of 2 greater than the surrounding solar wind. The CMEs triggered a G2-class geomagnetic storm.
We...

Interplanetary Type II radio burst radiation results from the excitation of plasma waves in the ambient medium by a coronal mass ejection (CME) driven shock, propagating outward from the Sun.
Hence, these radio emissions provide a means of remotely tracking CME/shocks. The aim of this work is to present an analysis on the Type II radio bursts observed by Wind/WAVES and STEREO/SWAVES radio...

Big Scanning Array of Lebedev Physical Institute (BSA LPI) Radiotelescope has operating frequency 111 MHz and two independent 16 beams systems, each of them covering strip of the sky of about 8o width in declination. Since 2006 one of the beams systems is used for IPS observations in monitoring regime. In the present state several hundred of scintillating radio sources is observed during 24...

On November 9, 2009, during the longest solar minimum in a century, the MESSENGER spacecraft en route to Mercury was in superior conjunction allowing the acquisition of Faraday rotation measurements. At 1.66 solar radii (456 Mm from the surface) on November 8th, MESSENGER's 8GHz radio frequency signal was absorbed. The observations taken on November 8th, 10th, and 11th show a 5 minute...

Observations and modelling of the solar wind in the inner heliosphere via remote-sensing methods and data are of a critical importance to improving our understanding of the physics behind the origin and development of the solar wind, transients, and the various interactions which take place throughout the inner heliosphere. They are also essential to further our understanding of space weather...

We present “PERSEUS”, a Pegasus Explorer for Remote SEnsing and in-sitU Space science. PERSEUS instruments work together to provide all sky coverage that enables mapping and 3D reconstruction of the global heliosphere. A coronagraph (CRG) observes rapidly-changing material flow and events (CME’s) near the solar surface while all-sky visible-light imagers (ASIs) observe light from these same...
