Abstract

Characteristic features of the plasma model for radio emission from the extending fronts of solar flare energy release are studied. It is shown that the electron distribution is formed near the thermal fronts as stationary beam injection through the boundary into the cold plasma semi-space. A principal new result is a conclusion about the localization of a plasma turbulence region — the source of emission in a narrow layer before the thermal front, that makes it possible to explain the burst narrow-band feature in a natural way. Wide capabilities of the flare loop structure analysis using the narrow-band emission parameters are demonstrated.
