The relationship of radio bursts of spectral type III to solar flares is investigated by comparing simultaneous optical and radio observations. Over 300 flares are examined, 85 per cent. of which are microflares (class 1?). About 20 per cent. of the flares are associated with type III events, while more than 60 per cent. of the bursts recorded occur during the lifetime of a flare. These bursts tend to occur near the beginning of the flare or even to precede it slightly.

AbstractWe present recent results from meter-decameter imaging of several classes of solar radio bursts: Preflare activity in the form of type III bursts, correlated type IIIs from distant sources, and type II and moving type IV bursts associated with flares and CMEs.

Abstract. This article summarizes the results of an analysis of solar radio bursts detected by the e-Compound Astronomical Low cost Low-frequency Instrument for spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory (e-CALLISTO) spectrometer hosted by the University of Rwanda, College of Education. The data analysed were detected during the first year (2014–2015) of the instrument operation. The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) images on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) were used to check the location of propagating waves associated with type III radio bursts detected without solar flares. Using quick plots provided by the e-CALLISTO website, we found a total of 202 solar radio bursts detected by the CALLISTO station located in Rwanda. Among them, 5 are type IIs, 175 are type IIIs, and 22 type IVs radio bursts. It is found that all analysed type IIs and ∼37 % of type III bursts are associated with impulsive solar flares while Type IV radio bursts are poorly associated with flares. Furthermore, all of the analysed type II bursts are associated with CMEs which is consistent with the previous studies, and ∼44 % of type IIIs show association with CMEs. On the other hand it is observed that the majority of type IV radio bursts are believed to be originated from CME-driven shocks. Findings from this study confirms that solar radio bursts (SRBs) from ground observation and analysis constitute a clue to diagnose the space weather phenomena such as solar flare and CMEs and to some extent, they may serve as the advance warning of the related severe space weather hazards.

AbstractWithin a period of intense activity (20 October to 5 November 2003), the injection and propagation of near relativistic electrons, resulted in hundreds of type III bursts recorded by the ARTEMISIV radio spectrograph (20–650 MHz). For a number of these type III events association with GOES SXR/Hα flare and/or SOHO/LASCO CME was established. We study the variation of characteristic type III parameters and their relationship with features of the associated flares and/or CMEs.

The paper describes an investigation aimed at finding out whether solar radio bursts of spectral type III are due to disturbances which travel out through the corona with velocities exceeding O�lc, as predicted by the well-known hypothesis that the emissions are due to plasma oscillations. If the proposition is correct, emissions at different frequencies would be generated at different levels in the corona-the lower the frequency the higher the source. This property is tested by simultaneous directional observations at a number of frequencies between 40 and 70 Mc/s, using a swept-frequency interferometer.

The > 40-keV solar-flare electrons observed by the IMP III and Mariner IV satellites are shown to be closely correlated with solar radio and X-ray burst emission. In particular, intense type III radio bursts are observed to accompany solar electron-event flares. The energies of the electrons, the total number of electrons, and the size of the electron source at the sun can be inferred from radio observations. The characteristics of the electrons observed in interplanetary space are consistent with these radio observations. Therefore these electrons are identified as the exciting agents of the type III emission. It has been noted that the radio and X-ray bursts are part of the flash phase of flares. The observations indicate that a striking feature of the flash phase is the production of electrons of 10–100 keV energies.
