Original abstract

Solar Type II radio bursts are manifestations of shocks produced by explosive and eruptive solar activities, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Metric range or coronal Type II bursts are interesting because of their association with CME-driven shocks. It is therefore important to examine the correlation between the properties of Type II bursts and the associated CMEs. This, in turn, would be useful in understanding the impact of CMEs on space weather and geomagnetic activity. We conducted a statistical study of 23 coronal Type II radio bursts in the frequency range 150-20 MHz, for the period spanning 2007-2024. We correlated the frequency bandwidth of coronal Type II bursts with the angular width of the associated CMEs. Our investigation showed an anti-correlation between the two quantities with a correlation coefficient of $\approx$ -0.62. We further deduced the height of the Type II bursts (r$_{Type II}$) at the onset time of the burst and compared them with the estimated height of the associated CMEs/shocks (r$_{CME}$). With the exception of one event, for the rest of the Type II burst events, r$_{Type II}$ was $<$ r$_{CME}$. The results suggest that the CMEs with large angular widths produce narrow-band Type II emissions, and these Type II emissions could possibly be produced in the flank region of the CME-driven shock rather than at the shock front.
