Flare Characteristics and Type III Bursts: A Statistical Approach
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Abstract
An analysis has been carried of the correlation of the occurrence of type III bursts and flares in spotless regions (G-flares) or covering major sunspot umbrae (Z-flares) - i.e. in magnetic conditions presumably opposite - over the past 10 years. A very low correlation of the former flares (8%) and a higher than average value for the latter flares (36% against the normally accepted 25%) shows that the ambient magnetic field of the flaring region is a primary factor for type III burst emission. The presence of a surge and of a rapid brightness rise (“flash-phase”) are recognized to be other important, if secondary, factors for type III burst generation.
