✦ Synopsis

The time profile of two sets of isolated type III bursts, observed in the meter wavelength range at the Trieste Astronomical Observatory, was analyzed using a Fourier transform technique in order to accurately determine the decay constant of the exponential phase and to derive the exciter time profile. The decay constant (z) was found to be correlated with the exciter duration (De) , suggesting that the damping of plasma waves is not of collisional origin and confirming results obtained by previous authors at lower frequencies. In particular, two distributions can be identified in the (z -De) plane and fitted by two nearly parallel lines, which could be the signature of different decay processes. Moreover, the damping constant observed at higher frequencies (327 and 408 MHz) has the same dependence on exciter duration as that at the lower frequency (237 MHz), also in disagreement with the collisional hypothesis.

We present the analysis of 64 type III solar bursts that drifted from 3.5 MHz down to the range 350-50 kHz between March 1968 and February 1970. Bursts arrival times were predicted by a simple model and then compared with observations. The results show that, as the bursts drift, the fundamental ofte

We have grouped observed type III solar bursts according to the discrete frequencies of observation in the kilometrie wavelength range. For each group we have obtained the bursts' frequency of occurrence as a function of the heliographic longitude of the associated optical flares. We found that flar
