The Radio Sun and Planets

The radio emissions from the Sun and planets provides a new window to explore and improve our understanding of these celestial objects and its magnetic activities. Radio emissions allow us to see things that are not seen in other wavelengths. The radio emissions observed from the Sun and planets can generally be divided into thermal and non-thermal. The thermal emission is related to the temperature of the objects, i.e. the blackbody radiation and the non-thermal emission is usually associated with the magnetic fields.
