Interpretation of solar microwave C type burst spectra in terms of magnetic nonhomogeneity

The solar radio spectra of the gyro-synchrotron radiation without absorption from mildly relativistic non-thermal electron have been presented using the model with the spherical symmetric nonhomogeneity. These spectra have the following features: (i) Twists and turns of the spectra, which appear at the joint between the medium and high frequencies, (ii) Flux density drop at the lower frequencies. Even if there are no absorption in the radio sources, flux density drop at the lower frequencies is still present because of magnetic nonhomogeneity. (iii) These theoretical spectra belong to C type. This provides us a new interpretation for the observed solar burst C type spectra. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
