Microwave imaging observation of an electron stream in a solar flare
Abstract
We report a Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) microwave observation of a propagating feature of non thermal emission in a solar flare. The flare had a very extended source well resolved by NoRH. In the rising phase of the microwave burst, a non-thermal gyrosynchrotron source was observed by the high-rate (10 images per second) observations to propagate from one end of the loop to the other with a speed of 9 × 10 4 km s -1. We interpret this non-thermal propagating source is emitted from streaming electrons.
