Combination scattering as proposed by Ginzburg and Zhelezniakov involves the coalescence of electron plasma waves from a nonthermal distribution with electron plasma waves from the distribution of thermal charge fluctuations. Reabsorption is neglected.

In this paper possible causes of line splitting in emission near the local plasma frequency are considered in connection with drift pair solar radio bursts. The basic model envisaged for the bursts involves a bunch of electrons streaming through the solar corona at several times the thermal velocity of electrons. The emission process assumed is the transformation of coherently generated electron plasma waves (I-waves) into electromagnetic waves (t-waves) with little change in frequency.

The type II solar radio bursts produced by a shock wave passing through the solar corona are one of the most frequently studied solar activity phenomena. The scientific interest in this type of phenomenon is due to the fact that the presence of this radio event in a solar flare is an almost certain indicator of a future geophysical effect. The origin of the shock waves which produce these bursts is not at all simple; besides the shocks which are generated as a result of a strong energy release during the impulsive phase of a flare, there are also the shocks generated by a coronal mass ejection or the shocks which appear in the interplanetary space due to the supplementary acceleration of the solar particles.

The sweep-frequency equipment at the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station, Fort Davis, Texas, has now been running continuously since 1956 September, recording solar radio activity in the frequency range from 100 to 580 Mc/s. The following contribution describes preliminary investigations of the correlation of the radio data with solar corpuscular emissions. This work was initiated to examine the well-known suggestions that the origins of the type II and type III radio bursts are associated with the ejection of auroral particles and cosmic rays respectively.

AbstractWe present recent results from meter-decameter imaging of several classes of solar radio bursts: Preflare activity in the form of type III bursts, correlated type IIIs from distant sources, and type II and moving type IV bursts associated with flares and CMEs.

By the use of semi-analytical method, modeling of three kinds of type III solar radio bursts have been made. Many basic problems about the type III bursts and associated solar electrons have been solved showing some striking or unexpected results. If the fundamental radio emissions should be really observed as the normal type III bursts, the emission mechanism would not be the currently accepted one, i.e. the scattering of plasma waves by ions.

The emission of plasma waves by beams of electrons travelling in a plasma is a phenomenon of critical importance in applied plasma physics (for instance in problems directly related to the achievement of controlled nuclear fusion) and also astrophysical research (e.g. in the theory of solar radio bursts). In principle, the mechanisms involved are all contained in the Boltzmann-Vlasov equation, where the field is the self-consistent electromagnetic field produced by the interaction between beam and plasma. Unfortunately this celebrated equation cannot be solved directly, because both the analytical and numerical methods that can deal with this equation are plagued by secular terms which restrict the time domain of validity of the solutions to a few thousand plasma periods. In all applications of interest this domain is far too small; indeed in all astrophysical cases it is quite negligible compared with the duration of the observed phenomena (it is even much shorter than the time resolution of present-day equipment, such as dynamic spectrographs).

Large solar radio outbursts at metre wavelengths often consist of a group of type III bursts followed a few minutes later by a type II burst; in both spectral types the intense burst radiation drifts towards lower frequencies with time (Figure 1).
