Abstract (from CDS):

We report the first unambiguous observational evidence in the radio range of the reflection of a coronal shock wave at the boundary of a coronal hole. The event occurred above an active region located at the northwest limb of the Sun and was characterized by an eruptive prominence and an extreme-ultraviolet wave steepening into a shock. The EUV observations acquired by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager instrument on board the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory were used to track the development of the EUV front in the inner corona. Metric typeII radio emission, a distinguishing feature of shock waves propagating in the inner corona, was simultaneously recorded by ground-based radio spectrometers. The radio dynamic spectra displayed an unusual reversal of the typeII emission lanes, together with typeIII-like herringbone emission, indicating shock-accelerated electron beams. Combined analysis of imaging data from the two space-based EUV instruments and the Nancay Radioheliograph evidences that the reverse-drifting typeII emission was produced at the intersection of the shock front, reflected at a coronal hole boundary, with an intervening low-Alfven-speed region characterized by an open field configuration. We also provide an outstanding data-driven reconstruction of the spatiotemporal evolution in the inner corona of the shock-accelerated electron beams produced by the reflected shock.
