Description:
The positions and sizes of the sources of type 3 bursts which are associated with interplanetary electron events ( 45 keV) are observed by the 80-MHz Culgoora radioheliograph. The sizes of the responsible electron streams at 0.6 solar radius in the corona are much smaller than the cones of propagation of the electrons in interplanetary space. Many of the type 3 bursts are shown to be accompanied by a type 5 continuum, and it is argued that the observation of a type 3 to 5 radio burst implies an increased spreading of electrons at heights 0.6 solar radius, consistent with the extent of the propagation cone of the electrons in interplanetary space.
