Very bright and highly circularly polarized radio bursts from the Sun, the planets, flare stars, and close binary stars are attributed to the electron-cyclotron maser instability. The mode and frequency of the dominant radiation from the maser instability is shown to be dependent on the plasma temperature and the ratio ωp/Ωe of the plasma frequency to the electron-cyclotron frequency. For the emission from the Sun ωp/Ωe is probably greater than 0.3 and for 0.3 < ωp/Ωe < √2 the emission can be either in the x-mode at the second harmonic or the o-and/or z-modes at the fundamental. For higher ωp/Ωe, the emission moves to higher harmonics of Ωe with the emission being predominately in the z-mode when ωp/Ωe ⪆ √3.
