Abstract
The interplanetary sectors have been correlated to observations of solar coronal active centers and condensations in the metric wavelengths. We have found that (1) a sector boundary is always located to the west of a coronal condensation, and (2) the effect of active centers is to displace systematically the boundary toward the east, thus enlarging the sector. A physical interpretation is discussed.
