A Review of Solar Radio Burst Detection Using CALLISTO

Abstract

Solar radio burst is one of the effects caused by the solar flare, which is directly related to the solar activities. Using the special-purposes spectrometers, the detection of solar radio burst can be achieved before the solar flare event took place. Solar flare can cause disruptions to our radio frequency spectrum and affected our technologies related to it, such as telecommunications network, Global Positioning System, and satellites applications. Compact Astronomical Low-cost Low Frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory (CALLISTO) spectrometer had been widely used to detect the solar radio burst, thanks to the cooperative research around the globe. A brief review on the space weather, CALLISTO and solar radio burst detected using the spectrometers will be presented in this paper. This paper is constructed as a guideline for the further understanding on how CALLISTO could bring a significant contribution towards the solar radio burst detection in order to develop a reliable and a high-performance prediction system using the data gained from it.
