Shock signature in the Solar Corona with LOFAR

Submitter: Pietro Zucca
Description: Type II radio bursts are evidence of shocks in the solar atmosphere and inner heliosphere emitting radio waves ranging from sub-meter to kilometer lengths. These shocks may be associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) reaching speeds higher than the local magneto-sonic speed. Radio imaging of decameter wavelengths (20-90 MHz) allow us to study coronal shocks which leave the inner solar corona and enter the interplanetary medium and to understand their association with CMEs.
