Type IV Radio BurstsType IV Radio Bursts Type IV's occur less often than type II'sHave a broad spectral structure over many frequency ranges (MHz-GHz) and up to several hours in durationOccur within 30 minutes of flare onsetCorrelated CME's are faster and widerStationary IV's are caused by electrons trapped in the magnetic loop structure (What I observe) Moving IV's are plasmoids containing their own magnetic fields moving 100-1000kms-1 and are very difficult to observe without spacial resolution (See Stewart 1985)
Model of different radio burst signatures
WIND/WAVES Observations of Type WIND/WAVES Observations of Type IV'sIV's
These are Type IV's that range from ~4MHz – 14MHz and have deca-hectometric (DH) wavelengths. DH IV's are continuations of metric IV's. Limb events appear very faint, if at all. Position is discerned by correlating impulsive flare time with the type III event preceding the metric IV.
Metric and DH IV event –note the IV minimum begins at the flare peak time.

Goals and Expectations for VisitGoals and Expectations for Visit
Learn analysis tools for NoRH data Look at DH IV source regions with radioheliograph data and compare dynamics with metric IV bursts Make height-time and mass measurements of limb events (prominence eruptions) and compare with CME measurements (see Gopalswamy and Hanaoka 1998)Obtain a relation between PE's and CME's masses

Height-time measurements could not be obtained for any of the events, except 2005-07-27, the only limb event from the list.The CME data comes from the CDAW LASCO Catalog
Metric and DH dynamic spectra –note the ~15MHz gap between spectra
Minimum occurs at 06:15 at 7.1MHz
Overlap in frequency is denoted by the dashed line.

The DH IV events 2001-04-10, 2004-11-06, 20050727 have different structure and duration.The time-series data shows mixed results
How does this fit with previous study finding flare peak time correlates with the Type IV minimum?

PE Mass Measurements & CME'sPE Mass Measurements & CME'sChecked measuring methods with Gopalswamy and Hanaoka (1998)
Used a simple box volume calculation, multiplied by density of 1010cm-3 (Tandberg-Hanssen 1995) and mass 2x10-24gGopalswamy and Hanaoka had a volume ~3x1030 cm3--> 6x1016gMy calculations
volume: ~7x1030cm3 mass: ~1.4x1017
Fine structures were ignored (i.e., loop structure); the actual mass of the PE is smaller.
PE Measurement from Gopalswamy & PE Measurement from Gopalswamy & Hanaoka (1998)Hanaoka (1998)
The measurements were made during final height before eruption.
