Solar Radio Bursts on 16 February 1999

The 2.60–3.80 GHz spectrometer at the Beijing Astronomical Observatory (BAO) recorded a ‘decimetric pulsation’ event (DCIM) around the time 1999 0216 0300. At the beginning and end of this DCIM, two groups of reverse slope type III bursts (RS-III) are also detected; meanwhile, metric type II bursts are recorded by CULG and HIRA during the same time. These solar radio bursts on that day might be caused by the same active region 8458 and a same flare. We present a plausible qualitative model for all of them. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
