    Giant meterwave radio telescope observations of an M2.8 flare: insights into the initiation of a flare-coronal mass ejection event
    (2011-07-05) Subramanian, Prasad; Ananthakrishnan, S.; Janardhan, P.; et al.
    We present the first observations of a solar flare with the GMRT. An M2.8 flare observed at 1060 MHz with the GMRT on Nov 17 2001 was associated with a prominence eruption observed at 17 GHz by the Nobeyama radioheliograph and the initiation of a fast partial halo CME observed with the LASCO C2 corono- graph. Towards the start of the eruption, we find evidence for reconnection above the prominence. Subsequently, we find evidence for rapid growth of a vertical current sheet below the erupting arcade, which is accompanied by the flare and prominence eruption.
