Radio Tracking of a White-Light Coronal Mass Ejection from Solar Corona to Interplanetary Medium

For a solar flare/coronal mass ejection (CME) event on 1999 May 3, type II radio emissions were observed from the metric through the hectometric wavelength regimes. By comparing the dynamics of the CME with that implied by the frequency range and frequency drift rates of the type II radio emissions,...

Summary:For a solar flare/coronal mass ejection (CME) event on 1999 May 3, type II radio emissions were observed from the metric through the hectometric wavelength regimes. By comparing the dynamics of the CME with that implied by the frequency range and frequency drift rates of the type II radio emissions, it is concluded that the decametric-hectometric type II radio emissions were associated with the CME. The dynamics implied by the metric type II radio burst suggest a distinct coronal shock, associated with the flare, which only produced radio emissions in the low corona.
