Extract

Large outbursts from the Sun which are widely extended over centimetre and decimetre ranges and show smooth time variations in intensity have been called microwave type IV bursts (μ-IV). Those bursts generally consist of more than two successive components, the spectra of which move progressively towards the lower frequencies. Furthermore there is a tendency for the decay times, which are defined as the times occupied by the decreasing parts of the bursts, to become successively longer. It seems worth while to make a quantitative study of the time variation of the decay times and flux densities of μ-IV burst spectra and to infer how the physical conditions in the source change with time.
