Abstract

Observations of the out-of-ecliptic trajectories of type III solar radio bursts have been obtained from simultaneous direction-finding measurements in two independent satellite experiments, IMP-6 with spin plane in the ecliptic and RAE-2 with spin plane normal to the ecliptic. Burst-exciter trajectories were observed which originated at the active region and then crossed the ecliptic plane at about 0.8 AU. A considerable large-scale north-south component of the interplanetary magnetic field followed by the exciters is found. The apparent north-south and east-west angular source sizes observed by the two spacecraft are approximately equal, and range from 25 deg at 600 kHz to 110 deg at 80 kHz.
