Extract

A type of metre-wavelength continuum is observed in close association with solar flares and Type II radio bursts. This continuum is stationary in position, often intense, of a long duration (occasionally lasting well over an hour) and highly polarized (Robinson and Smerd 1975; Robinson 1978). It is thought to be produced by the conversion of Langmuir waves to electromagnetic waves near the local plasma frequency. Because of its close association with Type II bursts, the class has been designated as Type II related flare continuum, or FCII. In this paper I examine a particularly clear example of such an event, with emphasis on the relation between the Type II and the start of the continuum.
