โฆ Synopsis
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 (1913A). 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.
