Diagnostics of solar chromosphere plasma based on observations of millimeter radiation
Abstract
In this paper we review the current knowledge of the solar chromosphere from its observations at millimeter wavelengths. We present the observational spectrum of the quiet Sun millimeter wave brightness temperature and its comparison with brightness temperatures computed from the standard static models and the dynamic simulations. Reporting on the findings regarding the structure and dynamics of the solar chromosphere from the best available interferometric data obtained at 3.5 mm we demonstrate a great potential of the mm observations for the study of the solar chromosphere.
