When studying the propagation of accelerated electrons outwards in the corona, we have shown that the perpendicular momentum of the electrons remaining after the type I process is transformed into parallel momentum during the propagation along the decreasing magnetic field, and that type III emission can occur when the parallel velocity component reaches a critical value. With this model we explain in particular the low frequency cut-off of type I emission, the characteristics of the type III bursts near their starting frequency and the transition between type III- and type I-like decameter emission observed in few cases.

In this paper we review the evidence on the structure of the open magnetic field lines that emerge from solar active regions into interplanetary space. The evidence comes mainly from the measured sizes, positions and polarization of Type III and Type V bursts, and from electron streams observed from space. We find that the observations are best interpreted in terms of a strongly-diverging field topology, with the open field lines filling a cone of angle ~60°.

The Magnetic Field

We report on the positional and polarization characteristics of Type III bursts in the range 24–220 MHz as measured by the Culgoora radioheliograph, spectrograph and spectropolarimeter. Our study includes 997 bursts which are of two classes: fundamental-harmonic (F-H) pairs and “structureless” bursts with no visible F-H structure. In a paper published elsewhere (Dulk and Suzuki, 1979) we give a detailed description and include observations of source sizes, heights and brightness temperatures. Here we concentrate on the polarization of the bursts and the variation of polarization from centre to limb. The observed centre-to-limb decrease in polarization approximately follows a cosine law. This decrease is not as predicted by simple theory but is consistent with other observations which imply that open field lines from an active region diverge strongly. The observed o-mode polarization of harmonic radiation implies that the wave vectors of Langmuir waves are always parallel, within about 20°, to the magnetic field, while the constancy of H polarization with frequency implies that the ratio fB/fP, the Alfvén speed vA and the plasma beta are constant with height on the open field lines above an active region. Finally, we infer that some factor, in addition to the magnetic field strength, controls the polarization of F radiation.

It is argued that the description of the magnetic field in halos of galaxies should take into account its dynamical coupling to the other major components of the interstellar medium, namely thermal plasma and cosmic rays (CR's). It is then inevitable to have some loss of gas and CR's (galactic wind) provided that there exist some “open” magnetic field lines, facilitating their escape, and a sufficient level of self-generated waves which couple the particles to the gas. We discuss qualitatively the topology of the magnetic field in the halo and show how galactic rotation and magnetic forces can be included in such an outflow picture.

(Astrophys. Letters). The type V burst has been defined as a wideband continuum which sometimes appears for a minute or so following a type III burst (Wild et al., 1959b). It is now generally accepted that type III bursts arise from plasma waves set up by electrons escaping with velocity ~c/3 along open magnetic field lines (Wild et al., 1959a; Stewart, 1965); the most widely accepted explanation of type V continua is that they arise from plasma waves set up by electrons of similar velocity which have become trapped in a coronal magnetic loop (Weiss and Stewart, 1975). On this hypothesis the plasma waves are set up by two opposing electron streams in the trapping region, and from this consideration Zheleznyakov and Zaitsev (1968) have concluded that type V emission should be predominantly at the second harmonic of the local plasma frequency. In this paper we describe and discuss some two-dimensional observations of source positions of type III–V events which were obtained at 80 MHz on the Culgoora radioheliograph.

AbstractCoronal holes can be identified as the darkest regions in EUV or soft X-ray images with predominantly unipolar magnetic fields (LIRs) or as the regions with open magnetic fields (OMF). Our study reveals that only 12% of OMF regions are coincident with LIRs. The aim of this study is to investigate the conditions that affect the EUV intensity of OMF regions. Our results indicate that the EUV intensity and the magnetic field expansion factor of the OMF regions are weakly positively correlated when plotted in logarithmic scale, and that the bright OMF regions are likely to locate inside or next to the regions with closed field lines. We empirically determined a linear relationship between the expansion factor and the EUV intensity. The relationship is demonstrated to improve the consistency from 12% to 23%. The results have been published in Astrophysical Journal (Huang et al. 2019).
