The first cm wave radiometer at Toyokawa (1951) The idea of the grating interferometer proposed by M. Oda (1950) 5. The first grating interferometer at Toyokawa (1953) 6 6.

Influence to the interplanetary space and the Earth space weather 2013/1/15 Solar ALMA Glasgow 6

11 Design Principles of NoRH Major science targets studies of particle acceleration in solar flares 17 & 34 GHz (higher than turnover frequency), high cadence (1 or 0.1 sec), full disk Characteristics ofsolarradio radio emission Strong signal and fast variation room temperature receivers (no calibrator sources are available) one bit correlator lt (amplitude independent d correlation) lti Complex sources (extended ~ compact) Dense array: Large flux from an extended disk + sparse array: compact burst components Observing condition is worse due to daytime obs. (turbulent atmosphere) redundant array configuration: self calibration of visibilities The Sun is the calibrator source. Each data set contains calibration data. high quality images of the disk: positional and brightness reference (calibration) Large number of images are needed to study dynamics UV gridding should be avoided due to limited computer power (~20 years ago) 2013/1/15 Solar ALMA Glasgow 11
