Abstract
Due to the narrow bandwidth and the small size of the subsecond microwave pulses, we can use them as probe sources for study of propagation effects in the low corona. More than 160 microwave bursts with subsecond pulses (SSP) have been observed with the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope at 5.7 CHz for the period 2000–2004. Working with a large dataset of homogeneous observational material (spatial resolution from 15″ to 20″, temporal resolution 14 mc), we estimated sizes of SSP and studied relation between SSP sizes and sense of the polarization and their position on the Sun. Our results are in accordance with those obtained during the 22nd solar cycle. The apparent sizes of SSP increase toward the solar limb. The obtained dependence is in agreement with Bastian‘s (Bastian, T.S. Angular scattering of solar radio emission by coronal turbulence. ApJ 426, 774, 1994.) model calculations. The center-to-limb variation of the source size is explained by scattering on plasma turbulence along the ray path in the solar corona. The most events with high polarization occur near the central meridian (±30°). The polarization sense corresponds mainly to the ordinary mode.
