Can Spontaneously Emitted Langmuir Waves Account for Type III Solar Radio Bursts?

Extract

One of the major problems in the theory of type III solar radio bursts concerns the development of the two-stream instability. On the one hand, Sturrock (1964) argued that one expects the instability to develop rapidly, and if it does it should prevent the stream from propagating through the corona, contrary to observation. On the other hand, one appears to require that the instability develop partially, in the sense that there is some significant amplified emission of Langmuir waves, in order to account for the observed emission.
