Abstract
ABSTRACT The fine structure in the continuum radiation of type IV solar radio bursts is very rich in various structures (zebra structure, fibres, pulsations, spikes, etc.). So far, however, no attention has been paid to the isolated fibres that occasionally appear in the metre and decimetre ranges. Here we give and discuss examples of the dynamic spectra of such bursts obtained many years ago (in the metre waveband from 1969) as well in recent years (in the decimetre and microwave wavebands from 2003–2013). Isolated fibres are observed mostly in the decimetre range (although there are examples in both the metre and microwave ranges), and they reveal a number of features of classical fibre bursts. As a generation mechanism for such fibres, the process of interaction of whistlers with Langmuir plasmons was suggested. An analysis of conditions for the realization of this process in solar magnetic arch structures and its efficiency was carried out. Estimates of the intensity of low-frequency turbulence (whistlers) and magnetic field strength in the solar corona were obtained using the data of radio fibres.
