My Research Interests
-
Building Mock-data for Square Kilometer Array
Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will provide unprecedented images and many possible discoveries of the radio sky.
Therefore, the significance of the faint signals to be detected by SKA and the nature of manifestation
of various types of noise in the images must be understood.
The idea of the project is to develop an end-to-end radio SKA observation simulator (KARABO) for various science cases.
Some use cases are: HI Intensity mapping from Meerkat and SKA-mid; Epoch of Reionisation; SKA data challenge-3 etc..
-
Simulations of Solar Radio Observation
Since the concept of the tool developed within the above pipeline is general, it can be used to make radio solar maps.
The telesscope models from various telescopes will be applied to the solar sciences and forward modelling of flares/CMEs and quiet Sun in radio.
-
3-D Stereoscopic Particle Acceleration in the Solar Flare
Solar X-ray and Radio Observations are complementary counterparts of the particle acceleration in a solar flare.
Using Very Large Array Observations radio observations and RHESSI X-ray imaging and spectroscopy, we constraint conditions of particle acceleration.
Now, we also add observations from various instruments onboard Parker Solar Probes and Solar Orbiter into the project.
-
Low Frequency Solar Physics
Solar radio observations at meter wavelengths allow us to study various coronal diagnostic, including unique faint energetic releases.
I use the solar data from Murchison Widefield Array, low freqeuncy precursor of SKA to investigate different solar science questions.
