Origin of the Submillimeter Radio Emission During the Time-Extended Phase of a Solar Flare
Solar flares observed in the 200-400 GHz radio domain may exhibit a slowly varying and time-extended component which follows a short (few minutes) impulsive phase and can last for a few tens of minutes to more than one hour. The few examples discussed in the literature indicate that such long-lastin...
