β¦ Synopsis
We review the results of simultaneous two-frequency imaging observations of solar microwave bursts with the Very Large Array. Simultaneous 2 and 6 cm observations have been made of bursts which are optically thin at both frequencies, or optically thick at the lower frequency. In the latter case the source structure may differ at the two frequencies, but the two sources usually seem to be related. However, this is not always true of simultaneous 6 and 20 cm observations. The results have implications for the analysis of non-imaging radio data of solar and stellar flares.

It is known that mode coupling may occur in quasi-transverse magnetic field regions of the solar corona, which produces linear polarization at microwave frequencies. A microwave polarimeter measuring all 4 Stokes parameters at 8.918 GHz simultaneously at three different highfrequency bandwidths (40
We have compared microwave imaging data for a small flare with simultaneous hard X-ray spectral observations. The X-ray data suggest that the power-law index 5 of the energy distribution of the radiating electrons is 5.3 (thick-target) which differs significantly from the estimate (b = 1.4) from a h
Solar radio bursts were observed with a 4-channel radiometer and polarization analyser at wavelenghts around 12 m. The time and frequency resolutions were 10 ms and 100 kHz respectively. Observations on the duration, time profile and frequency splitting are described.
