Coronal Magnetic Fields from the Effect of the Double Inversion of Circular Polarization of Radio Emission
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We present preliminary results of radio observations of the Sun with the Panoramic Analyzer of the Spectrum (21 channels in 1.8 – 8.2 cm wavelength range) of the radio telescope RATAN-600. Observations on 1992 January 9 – 10 have shown double inversion of the sign of a local source through the microwave wavelength range with fine spectral structure. This phenomenon can be treated as a result of mode coupling when the electromagnetic wave crosses two regions of quasi-transverse propagation (QT-region). Using this treatment we have found the strength of the coronal magnetic field at a number of points in the corona above an active region. The results also imply that trans-equatorial coronal arches affect the structure of magnetic fields at heights of about 3 . 1010 cm with B ~ 5 – 10 G.
