Solar flares are characterized by a sudden release of energy, of magnetic origin, that accelerates particles producing emission throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum and plasma heating. It is believed that a fraction of these accelerated particles are injected into bipolar magnetic fields. Radiation from these events at radio wavelengths is due to the acceleration of the energetic particles that spiral around magnetic loops. Thus masurements of right and left circularly polarized brightness temperature of three flares at the frequencies of 45 and 90 GHz yield degrees of circular polarization that reached 5 to 40 % and were opposites at 45 and 90 GHz, always being reversed for the events. The interpretation of these results may be associated with the asymmetry of the field strength of magnetic loop legs. The objective of this work is to study the magnetic field configuration and energy distribution of accelerated particles in solar flares. For the study of these solar flares, we use the observations of the telescopes POEMAS (POlarization Emission of Millimeter Solar Activity), that monitor the Sun at 45 and 90 GHz with circular polarization. Observations in radio were complemented with microwaves, using data from the Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN) at 1-15 GHz, and high frequency emission, at 212 and 405 GHz, observed by the Solar Submillimeter Telescope (SST). X-ray data were obtained from FERMI and RHESSI telescopes; and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) provided images at 171 Å and magnetograms of the active regions. To study the interaction between the particles and magnetic field we applied the model developed by Simões (2009). Numerical simulations were performed and produced sources at 45 and 90 GHz in a three dimensional magnetic loop with maximum intensity in opposite polarities of a dipole loop. The simulations also reproduced the degree of polarization and radio spectra observed in each event. Thus, by means of the simulations, we obtained the location of 45 and 90 GHz sources with predominant intensities in opposite magnetic polarities and with reversed degree of polarization.
