Abstract

A typical microwave burst on 1968 January 11, 1700 UT is used to demonstrate that the radiation spectrum at maximum phase can be described by gyromagnetic absorption. A model for the source is derived from the observed spectrum. With the aid of this model, we try to explain the decreasing phase of the burst intensity. Satisfactory agreement with observation is obtained, when one assumes that the cooling of the burst plasma is caused by heat conduction parallel to the magnetic field lines.
