Maryland Solar Radio Physics Group
The Solar Radio Physics Group currently has one professorial faculty and
several research scientists. Mukul Kundu is a solar radio astronomer who
does solar research using large interferometers at meter, centimeter and
millimeter wavelengths such as the Very Large Array
(VLA), Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Millimeter Array (BIMA), Nobeyama Radio
Heliograph (NoRH), and Nancay (France) Radio Heliograph (NRH). His
primary research interests are studies of quiet sun phenomena, solar
active regions including sunspots, prominences and their magnetic fields,
and explosive energy releases on the Sun -- solar flares and other weak
coronal transients in practically all radio spectral domains from
millimeter and centimeter to meter and decameter wavelengths along with
spacecraft observations in X-rays, extreme ultraviolet, and ground-based
H-alpha and magnetometer data.These studies are related to solar coronal
heating, solar flare energy release and particle acceleration.
