Travelling solar radio bursts.
Abstract
This review considers the properties of solar radio bursts originating in the outer corona and interplanetary medium between approximately 0.5 solar radius and one AU from the sun as observed between meter and kilometer wavelengths. Traveling radio bursts, such as type II's, III's, moving IV's, and noise storms, are of interest in their own right as they relate to questions of the generation of nonthermal coherent emission and the transport of radiation in an astrophysical plasma. In the context of this review, however, emphasis will be on how traveling radio bursts provide information on the solar plasma environment, gross magnetic field configuration, and disposition of solar ejecta along the trajectory of the radio source as it propagates outward through the solar atmosphere.
