| Abstract: | The solar flare of 1969 March 30, occurring  20° behind the west limb, produced very extensive 80 MHz radio emission at the Sun, and gave rise to the deployment of cosmic radiation over 360°long, in interplanetary space. The wide spread of this event may reflect a similar spread of coronal magnetic fields from the flare site. We interpret the solar proton data recorded by spacecraft at two separate points both at  1 AU, in terms of a two-component injection of particles at the Sun consisting of: (i) a soft component which arrived promptly; (ii) a harder component which arrived later. The radio spectral and positional data provide evidence of shock waves which propagated far and wide from the flare; we attribute the precursor injection of the soft ( 10 MeV) proton component to one of these shock waves.Radiophysics Publication RPP 1590, May, 1972.Now at University of California, LASL, Los Alamos, N.M., U.S.A. |
