In this paper, a scenario based on the electron cyclotron maser emission is proposed for the fine structures of solar radio emission in the present discussion, which is suggested that under certain conditions modulation of the ratio between the plasma frequency and electron gyro-frequency by ultra low frequency waves may lead to the intermittent emission of radio waves.
Abstract
A scenario based on the electron cyclotron maser emission is proposed for the fine structures of solar radio emission in the present discussion. It is suggested that under certain conditions modulation of the ratio between the plasma frequency and electron gyro-frequency by ultra low frequency waves, which is a key parameter for excitation of the electron cyclotron maser instability, may lead to the intermittent emission of radio waves. As an example, the explanation of the observed fine-structure components in the solar type IIIb burst is discussed in detail. Three primary issues of the type IIIb bursts are addressed: 1) what is the physical mechanism that results in the intermittent emission elements that form a chain in the dynamic spectrum of type IIIb bursts, 2) what causes the split pair (or double stria) and the triple stria, 3) why in the events of fundamental-harmonic pair emission there is only IIIb-III, but IIIb-IIIb or III-IIIb cases are very rarely observed.

Imaging spectroscopy of solar radio burst fine structures.

TL;DR: Radio observations of the solar atmosphere provide a unique view on the non-thermal processes in the outer atmosphere and the authors use LOFAR observations to demonstrate that the observed radio burst characteristics are dominated by propagation effects rather than underlying emission variations.

Imaging Spectroscopy of Solar Radio Burst Fine Structures

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial and frequency characterization of solar radio burst fine structures observed with the LOw Frequency Array (LOFAR) is presented, and it is shown that radio-wave propagation effects, and not the properties of the intrinsic emission source, dominate the observed spatial characteristics of radio burst images.

Conditions for electron-cyclotron maser emission in the solar corona

TL;DR: In this article, the conditions for electron-cyclotron maser (ECM) emission in the solar corona were investigated by considering the ratio of the electron plasma frequency ω p to the electron cyclotron frequency Ωe.

Coronal Waves and Oscillations

TL;DR: In this paper, a review reflects the current trends in the observational study of coronal waves and oscillations (standing kink, sausage and longitudinal modes, propagating slow waves and fast wave trains, the search for torsional waves), theoretical modelling of interaction of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves with plasma structures, and implementation of the theoretical results for the mode identification.

Magnetohydrodynamic waves and coronal seismology: an overview of recent results

TL;DR: Four topics are focused on: the current controversy surrounding propagating intensity perturbations along coronal loops, the interpretation of propagating transverse loop oscillations, the ongoing search for coronal (torsional) Alfvén waves, and the rapidly developing topic of quasi-periodic pulsations in solar flares.
