Abstract

The confluence of data from the Murchison Widefield Array and an imaging pipeline tailored for spectroscopic snapshot images of the Sun at low radio frequencies have led to enormous improvements in the imaging quality of the Sun. These developments have lowered the detection thresholds by up to two orders of magnitude as compared to earlier studies, and have enabled the discovery of Weak Impulsive Narrowband Quiet Sun Emissions (WINQSEs). Their spatial distribution and various other properties are consistent with being the radio signatures of coronal nanoflares hypothesized by Parker (1988) to explain coronal heating in the quiet Sun emissions. We present the status of the multiple projects we have been pursuing to improve the detection and characterisation of WINQSEs, ranging from looking for them in multiple independent datasets using independent detection techniques to looking for their counter parts to estimate the energy associated with them and understanding their morphologies.
