Extract

Since the start of high-resolution observations with the radioheliograph at the Culgoora Solar Observatory it has been noted that some bursts which occur from separate active regions could be physically correlated. It was suggested that the time delay between the correlated bursts is of the order of seconds, and that fast electrons provide the trigger. Wild found that shortly before a large flare weak bursts, stronelv polarized in the same sense, appeared simultaneously in different sources after a quiet period and he discussed the phenomenon in the light of flare mechanisms.
