Extract

On 1973 March 22 a radio event was observed above the east limb of the Sun with the Culgoora radioheliograph operating at both 80 and 160 MHz. The first stage of this event, a type I storm closely associated with a rising prominence, offers a new insight into the nature of this phenomenon. This storm was followed immediately by a moving type IV burst – the first burst of this kind for which two-dimensional observations are available at two frequencies. The relation between these two stages may help explain the ‘missing hour’ in observations of another moving type IV burst known as ‘Westward Ho’.
