Shock Thickness

Twenty type II solar radio bursts were observed during the period 1968 to 1972 by a solar radio spectroscope (240-40 MHz) at Ahmadebad. Intensity variations in type II bursts as a function of frequency and time are sometimes observed in their dynamic spectra. This fine structure enables determination of the shock thickness of the order of a few hundred to a few thousand kilometers. In a few cases, an interaction between streams of fast electrons and propagating shocks is clearly evidenced by simultaneous observations of short duration narrow band structures in type III bursts and type II bursts.

The Magnetic Field

AbstractShock drift acceleration of the electrons which produce herringbone structure in type II bursts is considered. A non-coplanar component of the magnetic field within the shock front and an electric field across the shock are taken into account. A quantitative difficulty with shock drift acceleration is identified, and possible ways of overcoming the difficulty are outlined.

<p>Solar flares are often associated with high-intensity radio emission known as `solar radio bursts' (SRBs). SRBs are generally observed in dynamic spectra and have five major spectral classes, labelled type I to type V depending on their shape and extent in frequency and time. Due to their morphological complexity, a challenge in solar radio physics is the automatic detection and classification of such radio bursts. Classification of SRBs has become necessary in recent years due to large data rates (3 Gb/s) generated by advanced radio telescopes such as the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR). Here we test the ability of several supervised machine learning algorithms to automatically classify type II and type III solar radio bursts. We test the detection accuracy of support vector machines (SVM), random forest (RF), as well as an implementation of transfer learning of the Inception and YOLO convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The training data was assembled from type II and III bursts observed by the Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN) from 1996 to 2018, supplemented by type II and III radio burst simulations. The CNNs were the best performers, often exceeding >90% accuracy on the validation set, with YOLO having the ability to perform radio burst burst localisation in dynamic spectra. This shows that machine learning algorithms (in particular CNNs) are capable of SRB classification, and we conclude by discussing future plans for the implementation of a CNN in the LOFAR for Space Weather (LOFAR4SW) data-stream pipelines.</p>

On 17 June 1968 we observed a flare event with the 80 MHz Culgoora radioheliograph consisting of a sequence of two type II bursts followed by enhanced emission possibly of type IV. In this paper we shall attempt to summarize some ofthe profuse data collected by the radioheliograph during this event and relate it to data from the radiospectrograph and Hα films of the associated flare (the Hα films were kindly made available by the Division of Physics, CSIRO).

The east-west position coordinates of the sources of 22 type II radio bursts, measured in the range 40-70 Mc/s using a swept-frequency interferometer, are analysed and discussed, in conjunction with dynamic spectra obtained in the frequency range 15-210 Mc/s. Many bursts are multiple and consist of a number of separate bursts excited by disturbances ejected in different directions from the vicinity of an optical flare, which may be equally complex.

Distributions in longitude of solar radio bursts often are compiled by identifiying the position of the burst with the position of the associated H-Alpha flare. Early work on the longitudinal distribution of type II bursts compiled in this way (eg. Maxwell and Thompson 1962) indicated an approximately uniform distribution. Subsequently Svestka and Fritzova — Svestkova (1974) and Svestka (1976) published a distribution of 244 H-Alpha flares with which type II bursts were associated (hereafter called type II flares) that showed marked deficits near central meridian and the limb (Fig. 1). They suggested that the distribution was a product of propagational selection, being in some way dependant on the nature of the type II source mechanism as well as the manner by which the radiation reached the observer. On this basis they argued that the number of type II bursts that occurred near central meridian and near the limb was underestimated.

It is argued that observational data on type III bursts point to the exciting agent for a burst being a bunch of fast electrons which experience no strong two� stream instability. Ways in which the two�stream instability might be suppressedare discussed.

The Relationship

Abstract Type II solar radio bursts are among the most powerful events in the solar radio emission in the meter wavelength range. It is generally accepted that the agents generating type II radio bursts are magnetohydrodynamic shock waves. But the relationship between the shock waves and the other manifestations of the large-scale disturbances in the solar atmosphere (coronal mass ejections, Morton waves, EUW waves) remains unclear. To clarify a problem, it is important to determine the conditions of generation of type II radio bursts. Here, the model of the radio source is based on the generation of radio emission within the front of the collisionless shock wave where the Buneman instability of plasma waves is developed. In the frame of this model, the Alfvén magnetic Mach number must exceed the critical value, and there is a strict restriction on the perpendicularity of the front. The model allows us to obtain the information about the parameters of the shock waves and the parameters of the medium by the parameters of type II bursts. The estimates, obtained in this paper for several events with the band splitting of the fundamental and harmonic emission bands of the type II bursts, confirm the necessary conditions of the model. In this case the registration of type II radio bursts is an indication of the propagation of shock waves in the solar atmosphere, and the absence of type II radio bursts is not an indication of the absence of shock waves. Such a situation should be taken into account when investigating the relationship between type II radio bursts and other manifestations of solar activity.

Radio Event

The type II solar radio bursts produced by a shock wave passing through the solar corona are one of the most frequently studied solar activity phenomena. The scientific interest in this type of phenomenon is due to the fact that the presence of this radio event in a solar flare is an almost certain indicator of a future geophysical effect. The origin of the shock waves which produce these bursts is not at all simple; besides the shocks which are generated as a result of a strong energy release during the impulsive phase of a flare, there are also the shocks generated by a coronal mass ejection or the shocks which appear in the interplanetary space due to the supplementary acceleration of the solar particles.

The sweep-frequency equipment at the Harvard Radio Astronomy Station, Fort Davis, Texas, has now been running continuously since 1956 September, recording solar radio activity in the frequency range from 100 to 580 Mc/s. The following contribution describes preliminary investigations of the correlation of the radio data with solar corpuscular emissions. This work was initiated to examine the well-known suggestions that the origins of the type II and type III radio bursts are associated with the ejection of auroral particles and cosmic rays respectively.
