We show that chirping gravitational waves in the LIGO frequency band $f=1 - 5000$ Hz can be gravitationally diffracted by the Sun, due to the coincidence of its Fresnel length $r_F \propto \sqrt{1\, {\rm AU}/f}$ and the solar radius…

We search for indications of waves in the 25-2000 MHz radio spectrum of the 1 August 2010 event (SOL2010-08-01T08:57:00L075C013), where fast propagating waves in the solar corona with the periods of 181, 69, and 40 seconds were detected in…
