Abstract
The theory of plasma emission and of electron cyclotron maser emission, and their applications to solar radio bursts and to Jupiter's DAM and the Earth's AKR are reviewed, emphasizing the early literature and problems that remain unresolved. It is pointed out that there are quantitative measures of coherence in radio astronomy that have yet to be explored either observationally or theoretically.
