Solar radio bursts are strongly affected by radio-wave scattering on density inhomogeneities, changing their observed time characteristics, sizes, and positions. The same turbulence causes angular broadening and scintillation of galactic…

Angular broadening observations of compact radio sources provide a powerful method for probing the solar corona and solar wind. Such observations enable studies of the phase structure function, turbulence amplitude, intermediate-scale…

We derive formulae connecting the frequency variations in the spectrum of solar oscillations to the dynamical quantities that are expected to change over the solar activity cycle. This is done for both centroids and the asymmetric part of…
