"Radio Emission from Red-Giant Hot Jupiters" Fujii et al. 2016

I refer to:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1601.05428

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/bib_query?arXiv:1601.05428

90 references in the paper :
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-ref_query?bibcode=2016ApJ...820..122F&refs=REFERENCES&db_key=AST

Abstract: "When planet-hosting stars evolve off the main sequence and go through the red-giant branch, the stars become orders of magnitudes more luminous and, at the same time, lose mass at much higher rates than their main-sequence counterparts. Accordingly, if planetary companions exist around these stars at orbital distances of a few au, they will be heated up to the level of canonical hot Jupiters and also be subjected to a dense stellar wind. Given that magnetized planets interacting with stellar winds emit radio waves, such “Red-Giant Hot Jupiters” (RGHJs) may also be candidate radio emitters. We estimate the spectral auroral radio intensity of RGHJs based on the empirical relation with the stellar wind as well as a proposed scaling for planetary magnetic fields. RGHJs might be intrinsically as bright as or brighter than canonical hot Jupiters and about 100 times brighter than equivalent objects around main-sequence stars. We examine the capabilities of low-frequency radio observatories to detect this emission and find that the signal from an RGHJ may be detectable at distances up to a few hundred parsecs with the Square Kilometer Array."

Coronal mass ejection triggering Jupiter X-ray aurora and non Io decametric radio emission, 2011 October 2-4

With many thanks, I refer to:

"The impact of an ICME on the Jovian X-ray aurora" Dunn et al. 2016:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2015JA021888/full

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/news-articles/0316/220316-Solar-storms-trigger-Jupiters-Northern-Lights



Abstract: "We report the first Jupiter X-ray observations planned to coincide with an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME). At the predicted ICME arrival time, we observed a factor of ∼8 enhancement in Jupiter's X-ray aurora. Within 1.5 h of this enhancement, intense bursts of non-Io decametric radio emission occurred. Spatial, spectral, and temporal characteristics also varied between ICME arrival and another X-ray observation two days later. Gladstone et al. (2002) discovered the polar X-ray hot spot and found it pulsed with 45 min quasiperiodicity. During the ICME arrival, the hot spot expanded and exhibited two periods: 26 min periodicity from sulfur ions and 12 min periodicity from a mixture of carbon/sulfur and oxygen ions. After the ICME, the dominant period became 42 min. By comparing Vogt et al. (2011) Jovian mapping models with spectral analysis, we found that during ICME arrival at least two distinct ion populations, from Jupiter's dayside, produced the X-ray aurora. Auroras mapping to magnetospheric field lines between 50 and 70 RJ were dominated by emission from precipitating sulfur ions (S7+,…,14+). Emissions mapping to closed field lines between 70 and 120 RJ and to open field lines were generated by a mixture of precipitating oxygen (O7+,8+) and sulfur/carbon ions, possibly implying some solar wind precipitation. We suggest that the best explanation for the X-ray hot spot is pulsed dayside reconnection perturbing magnetospheric downward currents, as proposed by Bunce et al. (2004). The auroral enhancement has different spectral, spatial, and temporal characteristics to the hot spot. By analyzing these characteristics and coincident radio emissions, we propose that the enhancement is driven directly by the ICME through Jovian magnetosphere compression and/or a large-scale dayside reconnection event."

Temporal Evolution of the Vela Pulsar's Pulse Profile - Palfreyman et al.

I take note of this very interesting study:
   
Palfreyman, J. L.; Dickey, J. M.; Ellingsen, S. P.; Jones, I. R.; Hotan, A. W.,  February 2016 :

http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.01899

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/bib_query?arXiv:1602.01899

23 references at:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-ref_query?bibcode=2016arXiv160201899P&refs=REFERENCES&db_key=PRE

 Abstract: "The mechanisms of emission and changes in rotation frequency ('glitching') of the Vela pulsar (J0835-4510) are not well understood. Further insight into these mechanisms can be achieved by long-term studies of integrated pulse width, timing residuals, and bright pulse rates. We have undertaken an intensive observing campaign of Vela and collected over 6000 hours of single pulse data. The data shows that the pulse width changes with time, including marked jumps in width after micro-glitches (frequency changes). The abundance of bright pulses also changes after some micro-glitches, but not all. The secular changes in pulse width have three possible cyclic periods, that match with X-ray periodicities of a helical jet that are interpreted as free precession."

Detection possibilities of "Hot Jupiter" planets orbiting red giant stars, with very large radio telescope arrays

About the evolution of the Sun active regions

As the days go by, I frequently show details of active region magnetograms images and charts, and other data, for active regions I think may be suspect of initiating the radio events we study.

I started studying solar radio emission in 1966, I am not finished yet :)

The degree of activity frequently varies much from day to day and is a complex subject studied for many decades.

Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi and Lucie May Green have published last month a "Living Review of Solar Physics" titled:

"Evolution of Active Regions" , 98 pages, including 17 pages of references, free to download at:

http://solarphysics.livingreviews.org/Articles/lrsp-2015-1/

http://solarphysics.livingreviews.org/Articles/lrsp-2015-1/download/lrsp-2015-1Color.pdf

Section 6 studies the case of AR 7978, "...subjected to the most comprehensive analysis of any AR..." as it evolved over a 6 month period.

Appendix A is a very good summary of Sunspot classifications, including the McIntosh and Hale methods.

I leave you repeating their quote from a poem by Laszlo Detre :

“  A Solar Physicist’s Lament  ....

It looks as if many a sunny day
Will pass along on its way
Before we solve it all...  "

High Time and Frequency Resolution Capabilities of the Murchison Widefield Array - Pulsar observations

Dear Lovers of The Neutron Stars,

Thank you for your FUN work, it keeps me busy when the Sun and Jupiter do not keep me very busy :)

I sometimes wonder what happens at their very center, where temperatures and pressures are truly MONUMENTAL !!

Pulsars were discovered at 81.5 MHz about 50 years ago and I have been studying them since then.

Professor Tremblay at Curtin University in Perth Western Australia, and about 20 of his collaborators around the world, have been doing wonderful things working with the Murchison Widefield Array, a precursor of the Square Kilometer Array.

They have installed equipment to collect time domain data for a total of ~ 31 MHz bandwidth in ~ 1.3 MHz subbands, spread as desired, between 80 and 300 MHz, and observed 10 pulsars.

Read more about it here:

http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.05723

32 references at:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-ref_query?bibcode=2015PASA...32....5T&refs=REFERENCES&db_key=AST


Abstract: "The science cases for incorporating high time resolution capabilities into modern radio telescopes are as numerous as they are compelling. Science targets range from exotic sources such as pulsars, to our Sun, to recently detected possible extragalactic bursts of radio emission, the so-called fast radio bursts (FRBs). Originally conceived purely as an imaging telescope, the initial design of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) did not include the ability to access high time and frequency resolution voltage data. However, the flexibility of the MWA's software correlator allowed an off-the-shelf solution for adding this capability. This paper describes the system that records the 100 micro-second and 10 kHz resolution voltage data from the MWA. Example science applications, where this capability is critical, are presented, as well as accompanying commissioning results from this mode to demonstrate verification."

A LOFAR Census of Millisecond Pulsars

With many thanks I refer to:

Kondratiev et al. 2015, "A LOFAR Census of Millisecond Pulsars"

http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.02948

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/bib_query?arXiv:1508.02948

Abstract: "We report the detection of 48 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) out of 75 observed thus far using the LOFAR in the frequency range 110-188 MHz. We have also detected three MSPs out of nine observed in the frequency range 38-77 MHz. This is the largest sample of MSPs ever observed at these low frequencies, and half of the detected MSPs were observed for the first time at frequencies below 200 MHz. We present the average pulse profiles of the detected MSPs, their effective pulse widths and flux densities, and compare these with higher observing frequencies. The LOFAR pulse profiles will be publicly available via the EPN Database of Pulsar Profiles. We also present average values of dispersion measures (DM) and discuss DM and profile variations. About 35% of the MSPs show strong narrow profiles, another 25% exhibit scattered profiles, and the rest are only weakly detected. A qualitative comparison of the LOFAR MSP profiles with those at higher radio frequencies shows constant separation between profile components. Similarly, the profile widths are consistent with those observed at higher frequencies, unless scattering dominates at the lowest frequencies. This is very different from what is observed for normal pulsars and suggests a compact emission region in the MSP magnetosphere. The amplitude ratio of the profile components, on the other hand, can dramatically change towards low frequencies, often with the trailing component becoming dominant. As demonstrated by Dyks et al. (2010) this can be caused by aberration and retardation. This data set enables high-precision studies of pulse profile evolution with frequency, dispersion, Faraday rotation, and scattering in the interstellar medium. Characterizing and correcting these systematic effects may improve pulsar-timing precision at higher observing frequencies, where pulsar timing array projects aim to directly detect gravitational waves."

Abstract: "We report the detection and observed characteristics of giant pulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar (B0531+21) in four frequency bands covering 20-84 MHz using the recently completed Long Wavelength Array Station 1 (LWA1) radio telescope. In 10 hr of observations distributed over a 72 day period in fall of 2012, 33 giant pulses having peak flux densities between 400 Jy and 2000 Jy were detected. Twenty-two of these pulses were detected simultaneously in channels of 16 MHz bandwidth centered at 44 MHz, 60 MHz, and 76 MHz, including one pulse which was also detected in a channel centered at 28 MHz. We quantify statistics of pulse amplitude and pulse shape characteristics, including pulse broadening. Amplitude statistics are consistent with expectations based on extrapolations from previous work at higher and lower frequencies. Pulse broadening is found to be relatively high, but not significantly greater than expected. We present procedures that have been found to be effective for observing giant pulses in this frequency range."
