Origin of the submillimeter radio emission during the time-extended phase of a solar flare

Solar flares observed in the 200∈-∈400 GHz radio domain may exhibit a slowly varying and time-extended component which follows a short (few minutes) impulsive phase and can last for a few tens of minutes to more than one hour. The few examples discussed in the literature indicate that such long-last...

These results, which may also apply to other millimeter-submillimeter radio events, are not consistent with the expectations from standard semiempirical models of the chromosphere and transition region during flares, which predict observable radio emission from the chromosphere at all frequencies where the corona is transparent. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2012.
