Abstract
Using the observational data of the solar radio spectrometer with a broad bandwidth of the Chinese National Astronomical Observatories (CNAO), the Nobeyama Radio Heliograph (NoRH) and Polarimeters (NoRP), YOHKOH and SOHO satellites, it is found that there are two characteristics in an X3.3 flare event associated with coronal mass ejection (CME). (i) X-ray and EUV loop interaction and evolution appeared evidently in corona, followed by the formation of a twisted loop structure, which is consistent with the theoretical calculations of Amari et al. (1999a,b) for the origin of flare-CME events. (ii) The slow frequency drift was shown in the radio observations, corresponding to the relevant movement of the radio source observed by NoRH, at a speed of several tens kilometers per second, which may be associated with the speed of the shock waves resulting from the CME.
