Weakly turbulent processes of three-wave interactions between Langmuir and electromagnetic waves in plasma with unstable electron flows are believed to be the main cause of type II and III solar radio emissions. The narrow band of type II bursts requires assuming that this radiation is generated in some local regions of shock fronts traveling in the solar corona, where the specific conditions for the enhancement of electromagnetic emissions near the […]

Type II radio bursts, produced near the local plasma frequency and/or its harmonic by energetic electrons accelerated by shock waves moving outward through the inner heliosphere, have long been recognized as evidence of shock waves origin and propagation in the solar corona. In this work, we analyze the early evolution of a coronal shock wave, associated with a prominence eruption, with the aim of investigating the properties of the compressed […]

CMEs can be the sources of space-weather disturbances. Shock waves expanding ahead of fast CMEs and associated flares are the probable sources of energetic protons. Two categories of CMEs have traditionally been identified depending on the presence of conspicuous chromospheric emissions during their development. Flare-associated CMEs erupt from active regions, carry stronger magnetic fields, can reach higher speeds and cause stronger space-weather disturbances. Non-flare-associated CMEs develop in eruptions of large […]

Type II solar radio bursts are believed to be excited by shock waves. They are often linked to shocks driven by solar eruptive events like Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and solar flares, and are characterised by a slow drift from high to low frequencies thought to reflect the speed with which the shock propagates away from the Sun. Shock-excited emissions that show very little or no frequency drift are known […]

Spectral Structures of Type II Solar Radio Bursts and Solar Energetic Particles

Solar eruptive phenomena, such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), generate high-energy particles called solar energetic particles (SEPs). Severe SEP events sometimes cause satellite anomalies and radiation exposure to humans in space. Hence, understanding and forecasting SEPs is an important issue in space weather. Type II solar radio bursts are nonthermal radio emissions with negative frequency drift observed between the metric and kilometric frequency range. They are thought to […]

Estimating the kinematics of Type II radio-burst sources, which are recognized as a shock waves, using electron-density models is inaccurate and restricted. In this article, a blast-expansion technique is used for the first time for estimating the kinematics of a Type II radio-burst source without using electron-density models by studying the density variation along the leading surface of the coronal mass ejections (CMEs) (herein: ejecta) during Type-II radio-burst emission. This […]

Are Solar Energetic Particle Events and Type II Bursts Associated with Fast and Narrow Coronal Mass Ejections?
by S. W. Kahler et al.*

2019-12-10 220 views

Gradual solar energetic (E > 10 MeV) particle (SEP) events, lasting several days, are produced in coronal/interplanetary shocks driven by fast (VCME ≥ 900 kms−1) coronal mass ejections (CMEs) associated with type II radio bursts. The basic paradigm is that CMEs with VCME > Vf, the plasma fast-mode speed, drive shocks that can accelerate seed particles to the high energies observed as SEP events in space as well as electrons […]

Anisotropic radio-wave scattering in the solar corona

Solar radio emission is produced in the turbulent medium of the solar atmosphere, and its observed properties (source position, size, time profile, polarization, etc.) are significantly affected by the propagation of the radio waves from the emitter to the observer. Scattering of radio waves on random density irregularities has long been recognized as an important process for the interpretation of radio source sizes (e.g., Steinberg et al. 1971), positions (e.g., […]
