Study of Radio Transients from the Quiet Sun during an Extremely Quiet Time
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this work, we study a class of recently discovered meter-wave solar transients referred to as Weak Impulsive Narrowband Quiet Sun Emission (WINQSEs). Their strength is a few percent of the quiet Sun background and is characterized by their very impulsive, narrowband, and ubiquitous presence in quiet Sun regions. Mondal et al. (2020) hypothesized that these emissions might be the radio counterparts of nanoflares, and their potential significance warrants detailed studies. Here we present an analysis of data from an extremely quiet time and with improved methodology over the previous work. As before, we detect numerous WINQSEs, which we have used for their further characterization. Their key properties, namely, their impulsive nature and ubiquitous presence in the quiet Sun, are observed in these data as well. Interestingly, we also find some of the observed properties to differ significantly from the earlier work. With this demonstration of routine detection of WINQSEs, we hope to engender interest in the larger community to build a deeper understanding of WINQSEs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
