On the Possible Connection between Photospheric 5-Min Oscillation and Solar Flare Microwave Emission

Dynamic spectra of low-frequency modulation of microwave emission from solar flares are obtained. Data of 15 bursts observed in 1989–2000 with Metsähovi radio telescope at 37 GHz have been used. During 13 bursts a 5-min modulation of the microwave emission intensity was detected with the frequency of νI = 3.2± 0.24 (1σ) mHz. Five bursts revealed a 5-min wave superimposed on a ∼1 Hz, linear frequency modulated signal generated, presumably, by coronal magnetic loop, this wave frequency is νfm = 3.38± 0.37 (1σ) mHz. Both intensity and frequency modulations detected are in good agreement with the data on 5-min global oscillations of photosphere and with the data on the umbral velocity oscillations observed in the vicinity of sunspots. Possible role of p-mode photospheric oscillations in modulation of microwave burst emission is discussed.
