Scientific paper

With the invention of new far-infrared (FIR) and radio mm and sub-mm instruments (DESIR on SMESE satellite, ESO ALMA), there is a growing interest in observations and analysis of solar flares in this so far unexplored wavelength region. Two principal radition mechanisms play a role: the synchrotron emission due to accelerated particle beams moving in the magnetic field and the thermal emission due to energy deposit in the lower atmospheric layers. The latter one was recently explored for the case of semiempirical flare models, without considering the temporal evolution. However, as the radiation-hydrodynamical simulations do show, the lower atmosphere heated by beams exhibits fast temporal changes which are typically reflected in variations of spectral-line intensities. In this contribution we explore the time-dependent effects of beams on FIR and radio continua. We show how and where these continua are formed in the presence of time dependent beam heating and non-thermal excitation/ionization of the chromospheric hydrogen plasma. Our results should contribute to planning of new observations in FIR and radio domain.
