Solar Burst Multiview

Multi-instrument analysis of solar radio bursts combining:

• MWA — Murchison Widefield Array radio imaging
• STIX — Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays (Solar Orbiter)
• e-Callisto — International solar radio spectrograph network

Notebooks

Notebook	Description
01_find_events	Query STIX and MWA catalogs for coincident solar burst events
02_ecallisto_spectra	Download and inspect e-Callisto dynamic spectra
03_mwa_imaging	MWA data download, calibration, and imaging with WSClean
04_multiview	Combined multi-wavelength analysis and visualization

Setup

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate solar-burst-multiview
jupyter lab

For a machine that has none of the prerequisites yet, and for the calculon and Zotero details that a clone cannot carry, see docs/new-machine-setup.md.

Plan

docs/reproduction-plan.md lays out the reproduction of Sharma et al. 2022 and the route from there to a reusable tool for the 2024 MWA solar observations.

References

references/core_references.bib holds the papers the pipeline implementation depends on, resolved from Crossref and verified against author, title, volume and page. Regenerate or extend it with:

python scripts/resolve_references.py           # -> references/core_references.bib
python scripts/import_to_zotero.py --list-collections
python scripts/import_to_zotero.py --target C13

references/resolution_report.json records what matched and what did not. McMullin et al. (2007), the CASA paper, has no Crossref record and must be added by hand.
