Observations of a pulsating structure with the Mark II Nan~ay Radioheliograph are reported. These fluctuations are found to occur early in the development of a moving type IV burst. It is confirmed that the source of these fluctuations is of small extent and that it is embedded in the moving type IV

β¦ Synopsis
An extremely complex outburst, part of which showed unsually rapid intensity fluctuations of a few second interval, was observed on 1970 November 5 with the 160 MHz interferometer of the Nobeyama Solar Radio Station. The pulsating source, which was stable in position and strongly circularly polarized (c,~60 %), had an extension as large as 17'(7.5 β’ 105 km) in the east-west direction. The structure of the source remained unchanged while the source darkened and brightened repeatedly. The change of the source brightness occurred in a time shorter than a second.
Two alternative mechanisms responsible for the pulsating phenomenon are suggested; (1) gyroresonance absorption of continuum radiation by a fast particle beam injected in a quasi-periodic manner into a large region of weak magnetic field, or (2) magnetohydrodynamic oscillation of the continuum source itself, which is intrinsically much smaller than observed. It is observed as a large source as a consequence of scattering of the emitted radiation in a region situated above the source.

It is found that the theories invoking shocks have limited application and that plasmoid models have several problems with regard to plasmoid formation as we
Observations of a radio but'st at 8.6 mm wavelength on 1970 November 5, are described with the particular interest on the correspondence between radio and polarized X-ray events. The radio observations were carried out using an interferometer with a half power width of 2.9' at the Dept. of Physics,
The required electron density to excite a type III solar burst can be predicted from different theories, using the low frequency radio observations of the RAE-1 satellite. Electron flux measurements by satellite in the vicinity of 1 AU then give an independent means of comparing these predicted exci
