Distribution of Radiation from the Undisturbed Sun at a Wave-length of 60 cm.

Abstract

SOME theories of the emission, of radio waves from the sun in the absence of sunspots1,2,3 predict apparent ‘brightening’ of the limb at wave-lengths of the order of 60 cm. and shorter. It is therefore of interest to measure the distribution of ‘radio brightness’ across the solar disk at these wave-lengths.
