Small-sized radio telescopes for monitoring and studies of solar radio emission at meter and decameter wavelengths

Abstract

The paper shows development prospects of solar studies with small-sized sensitive radio telescopes such as the GURT active antenna which is an element of the phased array of the GURT radio telescope. Starting with GURT active antenna sensitivity calculations for solar observations, we compare our solar radio emission observations with the records of other radio telescopes. We discuss the potential of using this single antenna as an instrument for studying the active Sun manifestations from the lunar surface and suggest its possible adjustment to observe poor studied solar bursts under the terrestrial ionosphere cutoff.
