Abstract


The properties of IIIb–III pairs observed by the URAN-2 radio
telescope at frequencies 16-32 MHz are analyzed. Observations of these bursts were hold in April, June and September 2011. Durations, frequency drift rates, simultaneous frequency ratio of pairs components and their polarizations are analyzed. Pro and contra of IIIb–III harmonic connection are discussed.

Key words:Sun, radio emission, decameter wavelengths, IIIb-III bursts, duration, frequency drift, polarization, plasma mechanism of radio emission
