A Model of Zebra Patterns in Solar Radio Emission

Resumo

We analyze complex zebra patterns and fiber bursts during type-IV solar radio bursts on August 1, 2010. It was shown that all of the main details of sporadic zebra patterns can be explained within the model of zebra patterns and fiber bursts during the interaction of plasma waves with whistlers. In addition, it was shown that the major variations in the stripes of the zebra patterns are caused by the scattering mechanism of fast particles on whistlers, which leads to the transition of whistler instability from the normal Doppler effect to an anomalous one.
