The time behaviour of the continua during the initial stage of type IV bursts
Abstract
The existence of a group of broad-band continua during the initial stage of some type IV bursts can be shown which are polarized in the extraordinary sense. Unfortunately interferometric records were available only for one of these continua. In this case no movement of the radiation source could be stated during the whole of its lifetime. It can be shown that the time behaviour of the broadband continua is clearly different from that of the moving type IV bursts recorded directly by interferometers. Therefore, it must be concluded that both types of continua originate from different physical processes at the Sun, though both are caused by synchrotron radiation.
