Specimen : August 22, 2005 1700 - 1710 UT
M6.2 Solar Flare
This is some early eruption activity from region 10798 which would
become a historically notable sunspot group.
Type IV Solar Radio Pulsations

at 22.222 MHz right channel and 22.714 MHz left channel.

Please note : this is a 9.15 Mb file in size.
For full and intricate stereo effect it is best to listen with headphones at moderate to high volume.
If you can successfully enter into the solar waveforms you will experience very specific pulsations,
transcendent of noise.

At about 45 seconds into the sound file the pulsations will kick in strongly followed by
numerous peaks and plateaux.. The full mass ejection was over an hour in duration and this
segment of time is the strongest period sonically.
What you are listening to is the radio sound of a Coronal Mass Ejection and resulting eruptive plasmoid
with the Type IV solar radio pulsations due to either plasma emission or gyrosynchrotron emission.
In this case we may be hearing expanding arches or loops of non-thermal particles.

of this particular eruption and ejection.
