Scientific paper

The shape of solar flares-associated shock waves on August 1972 was studied by comparing the solar plasma observations on Prognoz, Prognoz-2, Pioneer-9 and Pioneer-10 spacecraft with type II radioburst observations and observations of radio source scintillations. This study showed that the first shocks were almost spherical and displayed strong deceleration (blast waves). Two subsequent shocks were highly nonspherical with low deceleration (piston-driven waves). Energy and mass-ejected quantities obtained from Prognoz-2 measurements are 10 to the 32nd-10 to the 33rd ergs and 10 to the 16th-10 to the 17th g, respectively.
