Coronal magnetograms of solar active regions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2005
Abstract
A series of coronal magnetograms, related to the active region NOAA 9068 is derived using the effects of the quasi-transverse (QT-) propagation at microwaves. In the assumption that the product of the electron density $N$ and the scale of magnetic divergence $L_d$ is constant and equal to $10^{18}$ cm$^{-2}$, the sensitivity of the measurements peaks at $B(G) \approx 180 \, \lambda^{-4/3} (cm)$, where $\lambda$ is the observational wavelength. The radio maps of the Sun taken with the Solar Siberian Radio Telescope (SSRT) at $\lambda = 5.2$ cm were sampled and converted into the 2D coronal magnetograms supplying absolute values of the total magnetic vector $\vec B$ in the range 10-30 G. Each coronal magnetogram covers the portion of the microwave source in the active region affected by the QT-propagation conditions in the corona.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
