1. Motivation --- Solar ActivitySolar Flares: 1. The most powerful eruptions ----- emit
energies up to 1032 ergs
2. Energetic particles from flares (e.g., Miller et al. 1997) • Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) Events• Solar Radio Bursts• Auroras
3. Radiation crosses the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio to gamma rays • x-rays and gamma rays require
telescopes in space• radio and optical emissions can
penetrate the Earth's atmosphere & be observed with telescopes on the Earth.
Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs)
Sunspots Prominences

• Incoherent emission• the total emission of a collection of elections == summing over the emission by single electron • Types: e.g., synchrotron radiation, bremsstrahlung radiation
• Coherent emission• involve some plasma instabilities, collective (kinetic) plasma radiation processes
• high brightness temperature TB; • short-eruptive time scale; • narrow frequency bandwidth;• strong polarization, e.g., solar radio bursts [Aschwanden and Benz, 1997; Barta et al., 2008; Benz et al.,
2009]
• Types: plasma emission, electron cyclotron maser emission, pulsar radio emission...

Mechanism 1:
Plasma Emission (Ginzburg and Zheleznyakov 1958; Melrose, 1985; Robinson and Cairns, 1998):
a non-linear multi-stage process: beam instability + three-wave interaction processesLangmuir waves (L)backward Langmuir waves (L' )sound waves (S)transverse electromagnetic waves (T)
Driver ------ a positive gradient ( u//*df(u//)/du// > 0) in the electron distribution function

Mechanism 2:
Electron Cyclotron Maser Emission (ECME) ----- Linear instability (Wild, 1985; C. S. Wu, 2012; D. J. Wu, 2014; Wu et al., 2014):
Two necessary conditions:
(1) free energy --- positive perpendicular velocity gradient ( df(u⊥)/du⊥ > 0, e.g., ring distribution, loss cone distribution)
(2) local electron cyclotron frequency ωce > plasma frequency ωpe (ωce / ωpe ∝ B2/ne, e.g., density cavity) to satisfy the escape condition
ECME ----- auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) in the Earth (e.g., Strangeway et al., 2001; Louarn, 2006, Melrose,
2017).

2. Method --- Fully-kinetic PIC Simulation
Fully-kinetic PIC Code:
1. Evolutions of the particles (electrons & ions) and electromagnetic fields are self-consistent ----- feedback
2. collisionless ---- dissipation via wave-particle interactions

when ωce>ωpe (ωce/ωpe = 5)• Intensity of each wave mode is quite anisotropic, this anisotropy decreases when
the ring-beam electron population increase• Whistler mode waves contain more energy than other modes• CPDs and spectrogarms of escaping waves strongly depend on their propagation
directions and number density ratio nrb: ntotal, they will be predominantly left-handed polarized over a wide range of propagation directions when energetic ring-beam electron population is denser ---- the diversity in the SRB (e.g, spike bursts Fleishman & Mel’nikov 1998) polarization observations
• Wave-particle Interaction
when ωce<ωpe • Excitation of higher-level harmonic of both ωpe and ωce, but non-escaping • Very weak excitation of escaping waves
