Abstract

The relationship of moving type IV bursts and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) is of interest, because it may yield insights into the origin and the physics of the ejecta. We discuss the statistical association of moving type IV bursts and CMEs, and find that about one-third to one-half of the IVs occur in association with CMEs, while only about 5% of the CMEs are accompanied by moving type IVs. We also find that the mean speed of the moving IVs is smaller than the mean speed of CMEs, and conclude that the type IVs move out with the bulk of the ejecta.
