Observing Solar F10.7 Radio Emissions (10.7 cm / 2.8 GHz)

[shinichir...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

The 10.7 cm solar radio flux (F10.7), originating from the upper chromosphere and lower corona of the Sun’s atmosphere, is a well-established indicator of solar activity.

Has anyone here ever tried observing the F10.7 flux at the 10.7 cm waveband (2.8 GHz)?

Yeah, I have and to be honest time is not on my side.

I use a copper built feedhorn specifically desined for 2800 MHz, custom built LNA and BPF with down converter built for 2800 MHz, on a 5' satellite dish, mounted on a EQ mount. 

The equipment was purchased several years ago a rotorary mount and AZ/EL controller. 

I have been extremely busy at work and haven't had the time to move forward with several projects, including solar activity detection associated to, F10.7 cm wavelength monitoring for sunspot/magnetic field activity.

I am hoping soon to include the Radio Astronomy Solar Optical telescope next year. Our close star is very active and very interesting to study.

Dear Anthony,

Thank you for the information.
 I'll examine the possibility on my end, drawing inspiration from your telescope setup.

Sincerely yours,
S. Asayama
