Abstract: | In the first part of the paper, we study the relations between the frequency of maximum radio flux fmax and the magnetic field strength at the photosphere Bp and between the maximum radio flux Fmax and the field and its scale L for two differing flares occurring above very different photospheric conditions. It is shown that the simple relations predicted by the gyro-synchrotron emission mechanism fmax Bp and Fmax B2L2 account for the fact that the flares produced microwave bursts of about the same Fmax, but of differing fmax.The spectra of type IV radio bursts associated with three large proton flares with post-flare loops have been analyzed. It is found that the decimetric peak vanishes with the onset of the first optical loops. This is consistent with the model of Kopp and Pneuman (1976) which associates growing systems of loops with gradual fieldline reconnection above flaring regions. |
