The dynamics of an erupting prominence

Abstract: Abstract. Hα full disk observations and radio interferometry at decimetre and metre wavelengths are used to probe the dynamics of ejecta and electron acceleration during a solar eruptive event on 1990 September 14. An erupting prominence and a moving type IV radio source are shown to trace a common magnetic structure during its rise from ∼10 Mm to 3 R above the limb. The height-time plot excludes a purely ballistic flight in the height range (0.5-3) R , but is consistent with both constant acceleration and con… Show more

“…This is in accordance with the idea that moving type IV bursts are emitted by trapped suprathermal electrons, through either the gyrosynchrotron process or plasma emission, and that the radio sources are characterised by systematic outward motions, often in association with prominence eruptions (see, e.g. Klein & Mouradian 2002). .…”

“…Since the flux rope moves outwards and expands, the internal thermal electron density decreases, and the plasma emission of the confined electrons occurs at gradually decreasing frequencies, as observed in the Type IV continuum during Episode 5. The moving radio source is often observed along the extrapolated trajectory of an erupting prominence (McLean 1973;Stewart et al 1978;MacQueen 1980;Kurokawa et al 1987;Klein & Mouradian 2002), so that one expects it to consist of dense plasma well within the CME structure as seen in white light, rather than near its front. Direct comparison of the radio source location with the CME confirms this view (Fig.…”

“…A prominence may be heated during eruption and thus can brighten in emission (Filippov & Koutchmy 2002;Karlicky & Simberova 2002). Radio tracking of eruptive prominences show constant acceleration at heights solar radii (Klein & Mouradian 2002), and տ 0.5 92% of eruptive prominences were found to be associated with CMEs (Hori & Culhane 2002). Prominence plasma is only partially ionized and the draining of hydrogen lasts typically a day, much longer than for helium (Gilbert et al 2002).…”
