Abstract

Based on the analysis of the microwave observations at the frequency range of 2.60 – 3.80 GHz in the solar X1.3 flare event observed at the Solar Broadband RadioSpectrometer in Huairou (SBRS/Huairou) on 30 July 2005, an interesting reversed drifting quasi-periodic pulsating structure (R-DPS) is confirmed. The R-DPS is mainly composed of two drifting pulsating components: one is a relatively slow very short-period pulsation (VSP) with a period of about 130 – 170 ms, the other is a relatively fast VSP with a period of about 70 – 80 ms. The R-DPS has a weak left-handed circular polarization. Based on the synthetic investigations of Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imaging (RHESSI) hard X-ray, Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) soft X-ray observations, and magnetic field extrapolation, we suggest that the R-DPS possibly reflects flaring dynamic processes of the emission source regions.
