Eruption of EUV Hot-Channel near Solar Limb and Associated Moving Type-IV Radio Burst

Using the observations from Solar Dynamics Observatory, we study an eruption of a hot-channel flux rope (FR) near the solar-limb on February 9, 2015. The pre-eruptive structure is visible mainly in EUV 131 $\mathring{\mathrm{A}}$ images with two highly-sheared loop structures. They undergo slow rise motion and then reconnect to form an eruptive hot-channel as in the tether-cutting reconnection model. The J-shaped flare-ribbons trace the footpoint of the FR which is identified as the hot-channel. Initially, the hot channel is observed to rise slowly at 40 km s$^{-1}$, followed by an exponential rise from 22:55 UT at a coronal height of 87$\pm$2 Mm. Following the onset of the eruption at 23:00 UT, the flare-reconnection adds to the acceleration process of the CME within 3 R$_\odot$. Later on, the CME continues to accelerate at 8 m s$^{-2}$ during its propagation period. Further, the eruption launched type-II followed by III, IVm radio bursts. The start and end times of type-IVm correspond to the CME core height of 1.5 and 6.1 R$_\odot$, respectively. Also the spectral index is negative suggesting the non-thermal electrons trapped in the closed loop structure. Accompanied with type-IVm, this event is unique in the sense that the flare ribbons are very clearly observed along with the erupting hot channel, which strongly supports that the hooked-part of J-shaped flare ribbons outlines the boundary of the erupting FR.
