| Abstract: | We present a statistical study of the characteristics of type-II radio bursts observed in the metric (m) and deca-hectometer
(DH) wavelength range during 1997–2008. The collected events are divided into two groups: Group I contains the events of m-type-II
bursts with starting frequency ≥ 100 MHz, and group II contains the events with starting frequency of m-type-II radio bursts
< 100 MHz. We have analyzed both samples considering three different aspects: i) statistical properties of type-II bursts, ii) statistical properties of flares and CMEs associated with type-II bursts, and iii) time delays between type-II bursts, flares, and CMEs. We find significant differences in the properties of m-type-II bursts
in duration, bandwidth, drift rate, shock speed and delay between m- and DH-type-II bursts. From the timing analysis we found
that the majority of m-type-II bursts in both groups occur during the flare impulsive phase. On the other hand, the DH-type-II
bursts in both groups occur during the decaying phase of the associated flares. Almost all m-DH-type-II bursts are found to
be associated with CMEs. Our results indicate that there are two kinds of shock in which group I (high frequency) m-type-II
bursts seem to be ignited by flares whereas group II (low frequency) m-type-II bursts are CME-driven. |
