Extract

Prior to the advent of the Culgoora 80 MHz radioheliograph position measurements on type II solar bursts were restricted to those made with one-dimensional interferometers. These measurements yielded conflicting evidence on the apparent positions of fundamental and harmonic emission observed at a given frequency; different observers reported the fundamental to be closer to and further from the centre of the Sun than the harmonic. Here we report on two-dimensional observations at 80 MHz made on both fundamental and harmonic emission of a type II event that occurred on 1969 March 2. The observations are shown to be consistent with the hypothesis that the emission is produced as the result of a disturbance moving out from the site of a flare and forming a shock front within an overlying coronal streamer. Both fundamental and harmonic are explained by ‘forward’ emission from the shock front. Observations of the harmonic emission at 158 MHz are also consistent with this model.
