Quasi-Periodic Pulsations (QPPs) in Solar Micro Flares
From polarized spectroscopic observations at RATAN-600 on January 25, 2017, we detected a strong "micro flare" with QPPs; it was unnoticed by the global solar monitoring stations working in various ranges. A characteristic feature of the spectrum lies in the fact that the gradual increase of flux with wavelength was followed by an abrupt explosive brightening in the range of 3-4 GHz tens times greater than the brightness of the quiescent Sun. Studies of the time evolution and comparison with EUV (extreme UV) showed that this type-B2 micro flare was initiated by the appearance of an S-like loop. The polarized radio emission from this micro flare observed at RATAN-600 was generated by non-thermal electrons, whose hard X ray emission was detected with the RHESSI space mission. The result is unique, as the limiting parameters combined the space and ground-based observation complexes and a rare flash event with a new radiation mechanism was detected.
