Nonthermal Radio Emission Associated with a Coronal Disconnection Event
Abstract
We have found possible radio signatures of a coronal disconnection event observed by the Solar Maximum Mission Coronagraph/Polarimeter. The radio emission seems to be produced by charged particles accelerated during the same reconnection process which is responsible for the disconnection event. We discuss the implications of the radio emission characteristics to the reconnection process.
