Type II bursts.
Abstract
The authors consider in detail the type II burst. They first review the evidence for identifying these events as plasma emission associated in some way with magnetohydrodynamic shock waves in the corona. They then present the evidence of associations between type II bursts and other solar disturbances, followed by a detailed description of the observed features of the type II radio emission itself. These observational data are then applied to the detailed interpretation of type II bursts. The authors discuss both the emission mechanism itself and the nature of the coronal disturbances which excite the bursts. Finally they outline possible acceleration processes which can produce the energetic particles which are clearly required to account for the observed radio emission.
