โœฆ Synopsis

A statistical analysis of 106 microwave burst spectra shows, that the most frequent value of the spectral index below the peak frequency is 1.4. It is considerably smaller than values found so far and is explained in terms of a thermal and optically thick source whose area increases with decreasing frequency due to temperature and magnetic field inhomogeneities in the source boundary. The interpretation is supported by the absence of correlation between the spectral index and the maximum flux. An estimate of the inhomogeneities is made.

From a theoretical perspective, microwave spectroscopy has the potential to provide diagnostic information on solar flare plasmas, magnetic fields and energetic electrons. To interpret such spectra, one can exploit the fact that the microwave brightness temperature spectra from free-free brehmsstrah
