Scientific paper

This paper reports 333 MHz observations of motion associated with a solar flare at a speed of 26000 km s-1. The motion is seen from a radio source which suddenly starts moving during the flare. At its peak the radio source covers a quiet region of dimension 500 arcsec. The disturbance itself does not seem to radiate, but it excites coronal features which continue to radiate after it passes. The inferred velocity is larger than any previously inferred velocity of a disturbance in the solar atmosphere apart from freely-streaming beams of accelerated electrons. The observed motion of the source at a fixed frequency, low polarization and moderate bandwidth are more consistent with the typical properties of moving Type IV radio bursts than with classical coronal--shock--associated Type II bursts.
