... Contacts . 2010: . Sources of polarized radiation with unusual spectral features discovered in the Sun. In the framework of the study of solar active regions that produce powerful flares the researchers from the RATAN-600 radio telescope have detected sources with features in the form of a sharp decrease in the intensity of polarized radiation in various parts of the recorded frequency range (2-16GHz), sometimes changing the sign of polarization. ...
