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.

Using the measurements of impulsive solar X-rays made with the OGO-5 satellite to identify the flash phase electron acceleration in solar flares of Hα-importance ≲ 1, the satellite and ground based observations are analyzed to study the origin of the different groups of non-thermal electrons responsible for the impulsive X-ray, impulsive microwave, type III radio and interplanetary electron emission.

Explosive Phase

An instrument aboard the Fifth Orbiting Solar Observatory has observed hard solar X-rays from January 1969 to May 1972. A large number of X-ray bursts generated by solar cosmic ray flares have been observed. The X-ray bursts consist, in general, of two non-thermal components. The earliest occurring non-thermal component, coincident with the explosive phase, consists of a group of one to about ten X-ray bursts that are, for each burst, approximately 10 s duration and symmetrical in rise and decay. The time structure and multiplicity of these bursts is remarkably similar to that found in type III radio bursts in the meterwave band. The spectra of these bursts steepens sharply at energies greater than 100 keV indicating a limit at this energy for electron acceleration during the explosive or flash phase of the flare. For several flares these multiple X-ray bursts have occurred in coincidence with a group of type III bursts.

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.

Second Stage

Satellite observations of solar electrons bearing on flare particle acceleration and the generation of radio and X-ray emission are reviewed. The observations support a two stage acceleration process for electrons, one stage commonly occurring at the flare flash phase and accelerating electrons up to ~ 100 keV, and a second stage occurring only in large proton flares and accelerating electrons up to relativistic energies. The location of the acceleration region appears to be no lower than the lower corona.The accelerated non-relativistic electrons generate type III radio burst emission as they escape from the Sun. Direct spacecraft observations of the type III emission generated near 1 AU and the energetic electrons, provide quantitative information on the characteristics of the electrons exciting type III emission, the production of plasma waves, and the conversion from plasma waves to electromagnetic radiation.

<p>SMOS is an Earth observing satellite that is been adapted to provide full polarization observations of the Sun at 1.4 GHz 24 hours a day. Its solar radio observations from the last decade will be released to the community by the middle of this year. In this presentation we show the capabilities of SMOS as a solar radio observatory and compare some of the most relevant radio bursts with data from GOES, LASCO, SDO and RSTN. We show how SMOS responds to different kinds of solar flares depending on their x-ray flux, and the kind of mass ejection or solar dimming that they have produced, if any. In addition to this we also show the potential of SMOS as a space weather tool to monitor GNSS satellites signal fades and to provide an early warning of Earth-directed coronal mass ejections.</p>

Radio Flare

The flare phenomenon associated with dMe stars has received much attention in recent years (Gershberg 1975). Most of the flares have been detected in both optical and radio band (Lovell 1969; Kunkel 197U; Karpen et al, 1977). But as expected (Tandon 1976) only a few display weak soft X-ray emission (Karpen et al, 1977; Haisch and Linsky 1978)- Simultaneous X-ray, optical and radio observations of YZ CMi by Karpen et al (1977) shows no X-ray emission above 3σ level accompanying minor flares. Even coincident X-ray coverage with seven radio bursts shows no enhanced X-ray emission. Recently Haisch et al (1981) detected one well resolved X-ray flare on dM5e flare star Proxima Centauri and one coincident optical and radio flare out of five optical and twelve radio flare events. However, the X-ray flare on Proxima Centauri is not accompanied by any ultraviolet, optical or radio emission. Observations on flare stars show that they are more energetic, 102 - 103 times, than the corresponding solar flares. Considering the flare activity in dwarf M-stars to be similar but more energetic to that of a large solar flare, Tandon (1961) proposed red dwarf flares to be the source of low energy galactic cosmic rays. This hypothesis has been reexplored recently by Lovell (1974).
