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-last...
