Abstract
The ionospheric effects arising from the transient celestial events at X-ray and gamma-ray energies typical of flare stars and cosmic gamma-ray bursts are investigated. The VLF data recorded at Ahmedabad, corresponding to the 164 kHz transmission from Tashkent, are studied to see whether any observable effects are time-coincident with the meridional transit of the flare stars Cen X-4 and Cet X-2 at the time of the intensity maximum of their flare states. The VLF data are also examined with respect to the cosmic gamma-ray bursts detected by Vela, IMP-6 and OSO-7 satellites. Theoretical computations are carried out for the estimation of electron density enhancements, using available data on intensities and energy spectra for these events. The observational results are interpreted in terms of these theoretical calculations.
