Observational results are given concerning the relative positions on the Sun's disk of the fundamental and second-harmonic emissions of solar radio bursts of spectral types II and III. Contrary to simple theory, the results indicate that it is common for the harmonic emission in type II bursts to arrive from directions corresponding to much lower heights in the solar atmosphere than the fundamental. The results for type III bursts are inconclusive but suggest the same trend.

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.

Large solar radio outbursts at metre wavelengths often consist of a group of type III bursts followed a few minutes later by a type II burst; in both spectral types the intense burst radiation drifts towards lower frequencies with time (Figure 1).

The characteristics of bursts of spectral type II are studied in a sample of 65 bursts. Approximately half the bursts show harmonic structure and about half are compound type III-type II events. Band splitting, the doubling of both the fundamental and second harmonic bands, is also relatively common. A rather less common feature is the appearance of herring-bone structure in which the slowly drifting band of the type II burst appears to be a source from which rapidly drifting elements diverge towards lower and higher frequencies.

It is argued that observational data on type III bursts point to the exciting agent for a burst being a bunch of fast electrons which experience no strong two� stream instability. Ways in which the two�stream instability might be suppressedare discussed.

Velocities of the sources of type II bursts are derived from rates of frequency drift using standard density models, both statistically for 21 bursts, and individually for 5 bursts extending over wide frequency ranges. The derived velocities exceed the speed of sound in the magnetic-field.free corona: on the average the velocity decreases with increasing height to a minimum of ,....., 750 kmjs at a little below I Ro' and j,hereafter slowly increases with height. The nature of the type II source is discussed in relation to these velocities, and also in relation to detailed measurements of harmonic ratios and band splitting for the five individual bursts. It is suggested that the type II source is either a strong parallel shock (direction of propagation of shock parallel to magnetic field) or a perpendicular shock. Magnetic field strengths of 2-20 G at 0�5 R 0 above the photosphere, decreasing to 1-10 G at 2 Ro, are derived. Finally, it is shown that theories by which fundamental emission arises in front of the shock, whilst harmonic emission originates in the interior of the shock, are untenable.
