Résumé

Through the two stream instability, electron beams accelerated by solar flares and nanoflares are believed to be responsible for several types of solar radio bursts observed in the corona and interplanetary medium, including flare-associated coronal Type J, U, and Type III radio bursts, and nanoflare-associated weak coronal type III bursts. However the duration of these radio bursts is several orders of magnitude longer than the linear saturation time of the electron two-stream instability. This discrepancy has been a long-standing puzzle. Recently Che et al. [2017, doi: 10.1073/pnas.1614055114] proposed a mechanism in which the plasma coherent emission is maintained by the cyclic Langmuir collapse. Wave coupling between Langmuir waves and electrostatic whistler waves is the key process necessary to close the feedback loop. In the magnetosphere, electron beams are commonly produced by acceleration processes such as magnetic reconnection, during which both whistlers and Langmuir waves are observed and thus provide possible in-situ observations to test and study the emission process near the acceleration source region. The high spatial and time resolution MMS fields and particle data are used to test aspects of this mechanism. In this presentation, we will present some preliminary results from MMS observations of electron beams near a reconnection region. We investigate, in the regions where the electron beams are observed, the coupling between high frequency Langmuir waves and low frequency electrostatic whistler waves, and the associated electromagnetic emissions, along with other possible specific features predicted by this model.
