We study the statistical relationship between type III radio bursts and optical flares, using the comprehensive flare data base at the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (Boulder, Colorado), and the radio observations obtained with the ARTEMIS multichannel spectrograph in Nancay (France), operating at 500 100 MHz. At variance with previous results, we find that type III probability of occurrence depends only weakly upon the spatial extension of the flare observed in Hα, but strongly upon its brightness. We also confirm that type III probability increases with proximity to sunspots and with mass motions (surges and prominence activity); in addition, our statistical data are consistent with both relations holding at fixed flare brightness. Thus, some of the conditions favorable to type III occurrence are characteristic of compact flares, while others are characteristic of large and long-duration flares, which are often related to mass ejections. This apparent paradox suggests that particle acceleration and magnetic expansion are at work simultaneously in the ejection of electron streams out of flaring sites.
