Type III events, flares and CMEs, in the extremely active period October-November 2003

TL;DR

This study analyzes Type III solar radio bursts during the highly active October-November 2003 period, examining their relationship with solar flares and CMEs to understand particle propagation and solar energy release.

Contribution

It provides a detailed correlation analysis between Type III bursts, flares, and CMEs during a period of extreme solar activity, utilizing radio spectrograph data and solar event archives.

Findings

Type III bursts often precede or accompany flares and CMEs.

Strong correlation observed between radio bursts and solar energetic events.

Data supports linking particle propagation to major solar activity manifestations.

Abstract

The type III observations trace the propagation of energetic electron populations through the Solar Corona which, more often than not, precede or are associated with energy release on the Sun. A sample of Type III bursts in the range 20-650 MHz during the period of extraordinary solar activity (20 October to 4 November 2003) recorded by the ARTEMIS-IV1 radio spectrograph is analysed; its parameters are compared with characteristics of associated flares (Ha and GOES SXR) and CMEs, observed in the same period and reported in the SGR and the LASCO archives respectively. In this report we attempt to establish a correlation between energetic particles and major manifestations of solar activity such as flares and CMEs.
