Scientific paper

The authors study type III bursts observed at kilometric wavelengths by Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) experiment on the Voyagers and type III bursts observed at metric wavelengths from Earth-based observatories. They find metric and kilometric visibility functions consistent with these data and with data published by Dulk et al. (1985). These authors "present evidence that solar type III radio bursts at kilometric wavelengths are visible to a sensitive radio instrument (as is on the ISEE-3 spacecraft) irrespective of the location of the radiating source, be it in front of or behind the Sun". Considering the much lower threshold sensitivity of the near-Earth instrument relative to the PRA near Jupiter, it is concluded that their observation is consistent with the broad yet definitely directive visibility function derived here.
