Radioheliograph and white-light coronagraph studies of a coronal mass ejection event

We analyze the radioheliograph and SMM-C/P observations of 1986 November 3 mass ejection event. The metric radio emissions are the only detected activity associated with the mass ejection, but are adequate to study the evolution of the event. The start time of the ejection seems to precede a possible flare behind the limb indicated by the early type III bursts. We discuss the physical relation between various types of bursts and the CME. We interpret moving type IV bursts as a plasma emission process. It is also shown using white-light coronagraph data that the density in the source region of the moving type IV is sufficient to support second harmonic plasma emission at the observed frequency of 50 MHz.
