Description
Summary:Three slowly drifting structures observed during the November 25, 2000 and April 15, 2001 solar flares arepresented. Their relationship to the hard X-ray emission is shown. While the April 15, 2001 X14.4 flare started with the high-frequency drifting structure associated with a plasmoid ejection observed by TRACE in the 171 Å line, the November 25, 2000 event commenced with two drifting structures in two different frequency ranges; the high-frequency one consists of fast positively drifting features with rapid frequency variations of their high-frequency boundary. Due to fast drifting features the slowly drifting structures are interpreted in the flare model with a sequence of fast electron beams accelerated in the current sheet below the ejected plasmoid. Drifting structures in the November 25, 2000 flare are explained by beams injected into the plasmoid and, at the same time, by beams propagating downwards against the evaporation or termination shocks.
