Abstract
Solar microwave observations of the X3.4 Flare/CME event observed in Chinese solar broadband radiospectrometer (SBRS/Huairou) on 2006 December 13 show a series of very short period pulsations (VSP) with the period of <1.0 s in the frequency range of 2.60-3.80 GHz. Many pulsating events have the period of only several tens of milliseconds. These pulsations are quasi-periodic, broad bandwidth, and ubiquitous during all the phases of the flare/CME event. Based on theoretical analysis of the temporal behavior of the resistive tearing mode in the electric current-carrying flare loops, we propose that microwave pulsations are a result of the modulation of the tearing-mode oscillations in the current-carrying flare loops. Our calculation of the period of the tearing-mode oscillations are in good agreement with the observations.
