Prop osal Title: AN UPDATED PROPOSAL TO MEASURE MAGNETIZED ELECTRON DENSITY FLUCTUATIONS IN MIRA-VARIABLE-STAR CORONAE ABSTRACT:
We have recently realized a technique for measuring electron density fluctuations in the Sun's corona and found many interesting results, including: periodic fluctuations in electron column density; Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) magnetized electron clouds; turbulent spectra; power transfer from circular to linear polarization. The technique uses the propagation effects on a spacecraft downlink carrier. The goal of this proposal is to explore propagation effects in the coronae of Mira variable stars, using the OH maser lines on the far side of the star (i.e., the positive-velocity masers) as the signal. This is completely unexplored territory in stars. If we are successful, we may open up a new observational field--the exploration and characterization of physical conditions and activity in stellar coronae.
