β¦ Synopsis
The general features of the slowly varying component at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths are explained by magneto-ionic thermal emission. A model of an active region is constructed in which the electron temperature and density profile is based on recent EUV measurements, and the current-free magnetic field configuration is derived from a longitudinal magnetogram and scalar potential theory. In the model, the contributions of the reflected component of the inward extraordinary wave is important in determining the characteristic features of the radio flux and polarization. Emission by the mechanism of resonance absorption does not appear to be a significant factor in this model.

The radio radius of the Sun is determined from an analysis of the radio contact times of the 7 March, 1970 and 10 July, 1972 solar eclipses from 2 = 3 mm to 2 = 31 cm. Agreement with other eclipse measurements is good. A best fit curve through the several points gives the radio radius to within appr
The slowly varying component of solar centimeter wavelength radiation can often be attributed to thermal emission from density enhancements above an active region. This assertion is justified by the success in reproducing the observations by ray tracing calculations in appropriate coronal models. Si
From filament observations at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths it is shown that the transition layer between the dense, cool filamentary material and tbe ambient hot, rarified corona is rather thin, of the ordec of some hundred kilometers. Hence, the difference in the sizes of filaments in the
We have observed the slowly varying component of solar radio emission at a frequency of 34.5 MHz with half power beam widths of 26'/40' in the east-west and north-south directions, respectively. It is found that the observed brightness temperatures vary within the limits of 0.3x 106 K to 1.5 x 106 K
