Interplanetary shock waves associated with solar flares in the active region McMath No. 9740
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4403621
The propagation pattern of shock waves emitted by solar flares which occurred in the active region McMath No. 9740 during October 23 to November 4, 1965 is discussed. The solar flares were associated with Type 2 and 4 radio bursts and with SSC geomagnetic storms. The flares and associated phenomena are summarized and the transmit times between the Sun and the Earth of the shock waves associated with the flares are shown. It is concluded that the interplanetary magnetic field controls the propagation of shock waves emitted by solar flares. It was also determined that the large scale configuration of the interplanetary magnetic field was not disturbed by the successive propagation of the shock waves. (auth) (STAR)
