Abstract

In this study we continue our investigation of the radio sources located above the neutral line of the radial magnetic field in solar active regions, i.e., the so-called neutral line associated sources (NLS). The nature of NLS is still far from being understood. To study it, we use the spectroscopic capabilities of the new broadband polarimetric facility of the RATAN-600 radio telescope. We study the radio spectra of NLS sources in several solar active regions over a wide range of variations of their sizes. We find the NLS radio emission fluxes to be related to the gradient of the quasi-longitudinal magnetic field in the photosphere. We estimate the vertical positions of NLS relative to the cyclotron radio sources. We find fine spectral features in the NLS emission, which confirm the presence of a current sheet in their sources. We associate the appreciable lack of polarization in such sources with their location near the tops of the coronal arches.
