High-Resolution Time Profiles of Fiber Bursts at 1420 and 2695 MHz

To obtain constraints for models of fiber bursts, high-resolution time (0.01 s) profiles of the fiber bursts recorded at 1420 and 2695 MHz by the Trieste radiometers are studied in detail. The fiber bursts were identified using Ond?ejov radio spectra. During the years 2000?–?2005, 18 intervals with fiber bursts were selected; 26 groups were defined and about 700 fibers were analyzed in detail. More than 300 pulsations, present almost simultaneously with the fibers, were also selected and studied in order to find similarities or differences between these two types of fine structures. It was found that the polarization of the associated continuum, both for fiber bursts and pulsations, is practically the same. Evaluating the ratio between absorption over emission of many single fibers we found that this parameter is very different even for nearby bursts; however, we realized that this ratio shows a tendency to decrease with time. Finally, the time profile of one selected fiber burst was fitted using a recent model based on the modulation of the broadband radio emission by fast magnetoacoustic waves. The results are discussed.
