Victor Melnikov on Modeling of joint spectral variation hard X-ray and radio spectra: Joint with WG3

  • Modeling of joint spectral variation hard X-ray and radio spectra. The comparison is highly spectrum-dependent.
    - Discussion: Is the Dulk-Marsh formula so wrong?
    - Dependence on plasma density. Worry about Razin-Tsytovich effect at 6-10 GHz
    - Magun mm-wave observations (March 13, 1991, for example) temporal flattening of spectral index comparing 35-50 GHz on recovery from impulsive burst, as opposed to softening in SHS pattern
  • Melnikov, Gary, Nita (2003) OVRO data finds most bursts to show this flattening. Spectral evolution of trapped electrons is blamed for this behavior via Coulomb collisions.
