Solar Radio Observations at 843 MHz

Abstract

AbstractThe Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) has been used to observe the Sun with total-power fan-beams having a one-dimensional resolution of 41 arcsec at 843 MHz. The scans reveal clearly the rotation and evolution of the slowly-varying component as well as some burst activity. Low radio brightness features have also been identified, but the exact relationship between these features and coronal holes is, as yet, unclear. Several partial synthesis observations have been used to generate two-dimensional radioheliograms.
