Scientific paper

The VLA maps at 6-cm wavelength discussed here are generated from observations of a solar active region (NOAA 2363) on March 29 and 30, 1980. The X-ray spectroheliograms were acquired for this region in the lines of O VIII, Ne IX, Mg XI, Si XIII, S XV, and Fe XXV. It is found that the peaks of X-ray and 6-cm emission do not coincide but that the sources in the two wavelength domains tend to overlap. These facts are seen as evidence for the existence of opacity mechanisms other than thermal bremsstrahlung. To quantify this assertion, differential emission measures are computed to derive densities and temperatures. Using these and calculated force-free magnetic fields from Kitt Peak magnetograms, an assessment is made of the mechanism of gyroresonance absorption at low harmonics of the electron gyrofrequency as the source of opacity responsible for the microwave features. It is concluded that large-scale currents must be present in the active region loops to account for the bright 6-cm sources far from sunspots.
