The X4.8 flare was simultaneously measured by the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters, and Nobeyama Radioheliograph. The quasi-period of about 50 s, determined by the wavelet transform, is detected in the Gamma-ray line emission. Using the same method, a quasi-period of about 90 s is found in Gamma-ray continuum, hard X-ray (HXR) and radio emissions during almost the same time. Our observations suggest that the flare QPPs should be associated with energetic ions and nonthermal electrons that quasi-periodically accelerated by the repetitive magnetic reconnection. The different quasi-periods between Gamma-ray line and continuum/HXR/radio emissions indicate an apparent difference in acceleration or propagation between energetic ions and nonthermal electrons of this solar flare.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-05-16T02:19:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "solar flare", "quasi-periodic accelerations", "energetic particles", "ramaty high energy solar spectroscopic", "reuven ramaty high energy solar" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
