Abstract: New Jersey Institute of Technology's Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) has amply demonstrated the power of radio imaging spectroscopy for imaging and quantitative diagnostics of both the flaring and non-flaring Sun. The unique sensitivity of radio emission to the flaring coronal magnetic field has been dramatically shown in a series of recent papers, along with accelerated-electron diagnostics in the same volume. The coming solar maximum (cycle 25) is slated to peak in 2025-2026, which promises to bring new space- and ground-based instruments together with EOVSA to provide our best observational view of solar flares ever achieved. Here we describe the preparations underway and what we hope to learn in the coming solar cycle from radio-based studies of solar flares.
Bio: Dale Gary received his B.S. in Physics from University of Michigan in 1976, and Ph.D. in Astro-Geophysics from University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1982. He served in various research positions at Caltech from 1982-1997, attaining the position of Research Fellow in Astrophysics. He joined the faculty of NJIT in 1997, where he is now Distinguished Professor in the Department of Physics and Director of the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array, near Big Pine, CA. He is currently serving as Chair of the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society, and is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
