Emission of Type II Radio Bursts - Single-Beam Versus Two-Beam Scenario
Abstract
The foreshock region of a CME shock front, where shock accelerated electrons form a beam population in the otherwise quiescent plasma is generally assumed to be the source region of type II radio bursts. Nonlinear wave interaction of electrostatic waves excited by the beamed electrons are the prime candidates for the radio waves' emission.
