Title: Enabling Solar Radio Observations with the SKAO: Techniques, Pipelines, and Prospects
Abstract:
Capturing the highly variable solar radio emission in its full glory requires high dynamic range spectropolarimetric snapshot imaging. Some of the most interesting insights into solar physics and space weather come from studying radio emissions associated with solar activity, which remains inherently unpredictable. With its dense uv-coverage, wide bandwidths and exceptional polarization purity, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) is unparalleled in meeting the needs of solar radio studies. However, SKAO is not solar dedicated and hence, observational and calibration techniques and imaging pipelines are needed to obtain high dynamic range images of the Sun. In this talk I will give a brief overview of the lessons we learnt from the precursors and pathfinders as well as what we are doing towards enabling solar and heliospheric sciences with the upcoming SKAO.
