Fine structures of a solar type III radio bursts observed with LOFAR

We present spectral and imaging LOFAR (LOw-Frequency ARray) observations in the 20 – 40 MHz range of solar radio bursts fine structures, such as flag-like, sail-like, and dot-like that appeared on 8 April 2019. These structures were associated with type III solar radio bursts that occurred in the 40 – 80 MHz band. The mean duration and spectral widths of the fine structures range from 1.0 to 3.4 s and from 0.3 to 0.9 MHz, respectively. Additionally, we investigated the radio images of eight fine structures – two flags, two sails and four dots. This allowed us to determine their emission source sizes, which ranged from 240 to 392 arcmin $${}^2$$2 , and their frequencies from 25.58 to 39.25 MHz as well as their location. They occurred on the east side of the Sun and were most likely associated with an emerging active region NOAA AR 12738, where a weak B1.7 flare was observed.
