A Special Flare-CME Event on April 21, 2002

Abstract

The time and location of magnetic reconnection are indicated by radio (Nobeyama Radio Heliograph and Polarimeters, Hiraiso and Chinese radio spectrographs) and multi-wavelength (SOHO and TRACE satellites) data in a selected flare-CME event on April 21, 2002. Two hour radio burst started at high frequencies (maximum around 10 GHz). After that, a radio ejection at 17 GHz from one foot point was coincident with the expanded flare and post-flare loops. The reversal of polarization sense at the radio loop-top is associated with the strong coherent emissions around 2 GHz, which should be located above the loop-top at 17/34 GHz. The radio ejection and coherent emissions are also associated with a pair of moving type $I\!V$ bursts at 0.2-2 GHz from high to low frequencies and 2.6-3.8 GHz from low to high frequencies, respectively. High time resolution (8 ms) data show three components of the frequency drifts at 2.6-3.8 GHz: very slow (5 MHz/s) of moving type $I\!V$, slow (50 MHz/s) of zebra strips, and fast (several GHz/s) of type $I\!I\!I$, which may represent respectively the speeds of flare loop or current sheet, outflows, and energetic electrons from the reconnection site.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
