Bridging Gaps in Heliospheric Radio Data Analyses¶
Welcome to the documentation site for the Lorentz Center workshop "Bridging Gaps in Heliospheric Radio Data Analyses", held in Leiden, the Netherlands, 18-22 May 2026.
This site collects working notes, an instrument catalogue, tooling specifications, and example analyses produced before, during, and after the workshop.
This site will not be regularly updated into the future, think of this as a record of the outputs of the workshop, however it can be updated and maintained by the community through the github repo. Please open an issue or a pull request.
About the workshop¶
Heliospheric radio observations span an enormous range of frequencies, instruments, and data formats. They come from ground-based arrays like LOFAR and e-CALLISTO, and from space-based receivers on Solar Orbiter, Parker Solar Probe, Wind, and STEREO. Each mission and instrument team has built its own analysis tools and conventions, which makes cross-instrument studies unnecessarily hard.
The aim of this week is to bridge those gaps: to agree on shared data conventions, prototype interoperable tooling, and lay the groundwork for a community container that lets anyone load a solar radio burst from any of these instruments with the same handful of calls.
