An early view of
footpoint asymmetry
as deduced from the polarization properties of microwave impulsive
bursts.
The curly lines show Larmor motion of electrons in the stronger
and weaker-field legs of a coronal loop; the authors must have left the
open field lines at the top of the diagram in the hopes that some
electrons would somehow "escape" there and thus produce one of the
very common
type III bursts.
