Solar limb brightening measurements at a wavelength of 3.3 mm were made during the 30 June 1973 total solar eclipse from a site at Lake Rudolf, Kenya. The results show that at this wavelength there is a limb brightening of about 20%, occurring within one half arc min of the limb. 相似文献

Observations of the 1.4 mm center to limb solar brightness distribution show that there is little, if any, limb brightening at this wavelength. Knowledge of the antenna radiation pattern is vital in interpreting the radio measurements.This work was supported by the U.S. Air Force under Contract No. F04701-70-C-0069. 相似文献

The 7 March, 1970 total solar eclipse was observed at wavelengths of 3.2 and 8.3 mm; the object being to use the knife edge of the Moon as it passed across the Sun to improve angular resolution on the Sun. This in turn would provide a radial brightness distribution of the Sun with an angular resolution of a few seconds of arc.Excellent eclipse curves were obtained at 3 mm; however, some external interference marred the 8 mm record near totality.The 8 mm brightness distribution is subject to some uncertainty, but tends to show limb brightening. The 3 mm brightness distribution shows a well defined complex limb brightening within about 1 arc min of the optical limb. The maximum brightening is approximately 30% above the average disc temperature. 相似文献

Solar intensity measurements at a mean wavelength of 1.2 mm were made using a 1.6 m Cassegrain telescope. The measurements included a series of scans made during the partial solar eclipse of May 20th, 1966.A high degree of solar limb brightening is inferred from the measured intensity distribution. The ratio of the disk-averaged brightness temperature to the central brightness temperature at 1.2 mm is calculated to be 1.11 ± 0.02.A fairly intense solar outburst, of approximate duration 50 min, was observed towards the end of the eclipse. 相似文献

Observations of the quiet sun at wavelengths from 3 Å to 75 cm show (with two exceptions: the Ovi line at 1032 Å and possibly the continuum at 1.2 mm) either no limb brightening or less than had been supposed. On the other hand, the brightness temperature is observed to increase with wavelength in the millimeter and centimeter range. If this increase is due to greater visibility of hot overlying material, that material ought to be evident at the limb at shorter wavelengths, resulting in limb brightening. The only possible explanation for the absence of limb brightening at almost all wavelengths is that the emitting surface is rough at all wavelengths, with a scale of roughness approximately equal to the scale height at each temperature. Contradictions with existing models, along with the additional observations required for an improved model are discussed. 相似文献

Spectroheliograms were obtained in bands centred at 1.2 mm, 0.8 mm and 0.4 mm wavelength during 1969 and 1971. In order to obtain photometrically valid data, a specialized set of reduction techniques was employed, obviating the effects of severe differential attenuation across the disc by atmospheric water vapour and of emission noise from the atmosphere, before taking out the instrumental spread functions of the telescope and detector.Comparison of our maps with those of other observers at 3 mm and 8.6 mm wavelength suggests that the chromospheric brightness temperature increments above active regions show a monotonic increase with increasing height above the photosphere over the normal increase in brightness temperature in the quiet chromosphere. Within the limit of angular resolution of 3 available, no evidence was recorded of normal limb brightening in our three passbands but the presence of isophotes at 50% of the central disc temperature consistently circumscribing the optical limb implies a narrow spike of sub-millimetre brightening close to the limb. 相似文献

COPY THE ORIGINAL Analysis of the total eclipse observation of 1997 March 9 at wavelength 8.6 mm, shows that, at this wavelength, the solar radius is 1.012 R⊙, the total flux density is 2540 sfu, the mean brightness temperature of the solar disk is 9632 K, and the brightness temperature distribution shows limb brightening at the inner edge of the solar disk, the average brightness at 0.936−0.992 R⊙ being 9.7% above the central brightness. 相似文献

The brightness distribution of the quiet Sun at 8.6 mm wavelength is synthesized from off-meridian observations using an eight element east-west interferometer with a maximum base line of 16.38 m (1913). The observed brightness distribution is practically flat from the disk center to the optical limb. The effective radius of the nearly uniform component is 1.01 R
. If the limb brightening is present, the brightening located between 0.95 R
and 1.01 R
, and the total flux density of the limb brightening is less than 1% of the total flux density of the Sun. In addition to the nearly uniform component there exists a coronal component just outside the optical limb. 相似文献

A method for investigating the brightness distribution near the solar limb at millimeter wavelengths
The brightness distribution near the solar limb has been investigated by means of a technique in which derivatives of drift scans of the Sun were compared with derivatives of drift scans of the Moon. The results obtained at 88.3 GHz (3.4 mm) indicate that the Sun is limb neutral within the uncertainty of our measurement. If limb brightening or darkening is present, it represents less than 1.6 % or 1.2 %, respectively, of the total power received from the Sun at this wavelength. 相似文献

The radio brightness distribution at λ9 mm, λ3.5 mm and λ1.2 mm is calculated employing a statistical technique to account for the presence of spicules randomly occurring along the ray path. The results indicate limb brightening at each wavelength when the Avery and House (1969) spicule model is employed. This contradicts the results of Lantos and Kundu (1972) whose method of computation is shown to be inadequate. 相似文献

Observations at 9 mm wavelength of the partial solar eclipse of February 25th 1971 were made to investigate possible limb brightening of the Sun. The results obtained show that less than 5% of the solar disc power can be contained in any such brightening. 相似文献

Observations of the intensity distribution near the solar limb at 2.43 and 22.5 , show the absence of limb brightening to within 1 or 2 arc sec of the limb. Observations at 1.2 mm indicate limb brightening at this wavelength. These results are compared with the Utrecht Reference Photosphere and with existing data on the solar flux in the millimeter range, and suggest that the temperature minimum is broad and extends above
5000 = 2 × 10–3. A sharp rise of temperature is required above

The radial brightness distribution of the Sun at 3.2 mm is recalculated for the 7 March, 1970 total solar eclipse by an improved method. The results from the first contact of the 30 June, 1973 total eclipse are also analyzed. Limb brightening is apparent for the 1970 eclipse when all four contacts are averaged. The 1973 eclipse indicates strong limb brightening, although the detailed shape differs from the 1970 eclipse. 相似文献

A compilation of brightness temperature data in the millimetre and sub-millimetre wavelength ranges is used to obtain an empirical relation T
B = C
n between brightness temperature and wavelength, valid between 1 mm and 1 cm. An analytically soluble model, giving electron temperatures and densities between 1500 km and 4000 km above the photosphere is derived from this relationship, and eclipse data of Thomas and Athay, of the emission at the head of the Balmer continuum. Although this over-simplified model lacks precision in the height co-ordinate, it allows a scale height of around 1000 km for electrons to be deduced, and supplies a convincing test for the absence of hydrostatic equilibrium throughout the region. A more comprehensive and reliable though still simplified numerical model is then presented, being a modification of previous models accounting only for millimetre data. It shows marked departure from UV derived models in this region, and an explanation for the discrepancy is proposed in terms of thermal inhomogeneities on the scale of the chromospheric supergranulation. The stratified model is then geometrically modified to account for observed centrelimb profiles of the Sun measured throughout the sub-millimetre and millimetre region. The scale of any roughness thus introduced is related to the notable lack of millimetric limb brightening, and observational tests for that scale are suggested here. A qualitative picture of this part of the chromosphere is proposed, consistent with existing observations in the millimetre, visible and UV regions of the spectrum. 相似文献

We report observations of the solar radio radius at wavelengths between 1.2 and 11 cm performed with the Bonn 100 m-telescope. In combination with former measurements of the centre-to-limb variation of the solar brightness these observations are discussed in terms of atmospheric models. We consider the solar disk to be covered by arches at low latitudes, while at the poles coronal holes are located. The temperature dependence on height is taken from EUV-line intensities, hydrostatic equilibrium is adopted, spicules are assumed to be responsible for the relatively low brightening. The interpretation of our measurements demands certain values of the brightness temperature of spicules as a function of wavelength within a modest interval. 相似文献

Maps of the Sun at 2.8 cm wavelength, observed with the 100-m telescope in Effelsberg, on 1972, October 31 and 1973, February 10, are discussed. The brightness distribution over the Sun is, with the exception of active regions, approximately constant and nearly sharp-edged. Regions of small enhancements in the radiation can be identified with zones of weak activity in the solar magnetograms. Optical filaments could also be seen in absorption at 2.8 cm wavelength, the optical depth being of the order of 0.2. Several active regions have been analysed with respect to their position relative to their optical counterparts and to their brightness temperature: The latter was found to reach almost 106K in one case. No noticeable limb brightening could be observed; if any exists, it should be smaller than 5%. Likewise no noticeable elliptical deformation of the Sun's disk could be found. The geometrical thickness of the coronal layer, contributing to the undisturbed radiation at 2.8 cm was estimated to be a maximum of 4000 km. 相似文献

Data on the spectrum and center-to-limb variation of the solar Lyman continuum have been analyzed. They show: (a) The brightness temperature of the Lyman continuum is about 6500 K, but the kinetic temperature, as deduced from the slope of the continuum, lies between 8000 and 9000 K. The difference between the kinetic temperature and the brightness temperature requires that the source function be smaller than the Planck function by a factor of several hundred. (b) The Lyman continuum exhibits slight limb darkening longward of 825 Å, and slight limb brightening shortward of 750 Å. The crossover point varies from equator to pole and with solar activity. (c) The slope d ln I()/d of the Lyman continuum decreases toward the limb, implying that the kinetic temperature increases outward in the region of Lyman continuum formation.Using radiative transfer calculations for a plane-parallel atmosphere in hydrostatic equilibrium, we have derived a homogeneous model of the upper chromosphere that reproduces the main features of the observations. It is characterized by a temperature of 8300 K and a pressure of about 0.15 dyne/cm2 at Lyc = 1, and it has an abrupt temperature rise at a height of 1500 km above the limb. More precise agreement with the observations will require a detailed treatment of the inhomogeneous nature of the upper chromosphere. 相似文献

The existence of limb brightening at the equator of the quiet Sun at 3.1 cm is derived from a statistical analysis of scans of the solar disk taken during 1968.A ratio of 0.7% is found between the flux emitted by the equatorial limb enhancements and that of a disk of uniform brightness temperature. 相似文献
