In such a case, the background contains the noise signals of the receiver. In events on 2005 September 16 and 2002 April 14, the solar origin of fast bursts was confirmed by simultaneous recording of the bursts at several remote observatories. The noisy background pixels in emission and absorption can be excluded by subtracting a higher level of continuum when constructing the spectra. The wavelet spectrum, noisy pro- files in different polarization channels and a spectrum with continuum level greater than zero demonstrates the noisy character of pixels with the lowest levels of emission and absorption. Thus, in each case, in order to judge the solar origin of all spikes, it is necessary to determine the level of continuum against the background of which the solar bursts are observed. Several models of microwave spikes are discussed. The electron cyclotron maser emission mechanism runs into serious problems with the in- terpretation of microwave millisecond spikes： the main obstacles are too high values of the magnetic field strength in the source （Pe 〈 uB）. The probable mechanism is the interaction of plasma Langmuir waves with ion-sound waves （l ＋ s → t） in a source related to shock fronts in the reconnection region.展开更多

The identical parameters describing the radio sources for zebra structures（ZSs） and fiber bursts confirm there is a common mechanism for both structures. It is very important to measure the size of the source in the corona to determine if it is distributed along the height or if it is point-like. In both models of ZSs（the double plasma resonance（DPR） and the whistler model） the source must be distributed along the height, but by contrast to the stationary source in the DPR model, in the whistler model the source should be moving. Moreover, the direction of the space drift of the radio source must correlate with the frequency drift of stripes in the dynamic spectrum. Some models of ZSs require a local source, for example,the models based on the Bernstein modes, or on explosive instability. The selection of the radio emission mechanism for fast broadband pulsations with millisecond duration also depends on the parameters of their radio sources.展开更多

The separatrix frequency of the MMS pair was at 2900 MHz. Its emission layer was about 2x10^4km above the photosphere. The polarization degree was wave-like variation with an average value of about 25% in LCP. An MMS pair differs greatly from the type III bursts pair. For the latter, in a certain frequency range, there is no emission around separatrix frequency. This phenomenon may help better understand the mechanism of MMS.展开更多

The statistical analyses of the bandwidth, polarization degree, and half power duration of these spikes were made. We found that the absolute bandwidth of the spikes is down to the low limit of the instrument's spectral resolution (about 1.4 MHz). 76% of the total spikes have the polarization degree greater than 70%. The distribution of the half power durations concentrates on less than 16 milliseconds. These results support the interpretation of the electron cyclotron maser (ECM) mechanism for the decimetric spikes.展开更多
