Type III radio bursts from the Sun are signatures of energetic (∼1–100 keV) electrons, accelerated at the reconnection sites, propagating upward through the corona into the interplanetary medium along open magnetic field lines. The emission mechanism of the bursts is widely believed to be due to coherent plasma processes. The bursts are observed typically in the frequency range $\approx 1\,$GHz$ – 10\,$kHz, which corresponds to radial distance range between the […]

Density and magnetic field turbulence in solar flares estimated from radio zebra observations

Solar flares are characterized by fast plasma flows. In such plasma flows owing to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability the maqnetohydrodynamic turbulence can be generated. Although, the turbulence plays an important role in solar flares, e.g., in acceleration of particles, a knowledge about the level of  this turbulence is still very limited.  In the present study we estimate the levels of this turbulence. For this purpose we use observations of the so called zebra […]
