Scientific paper

It is shown that fields of 1800 G can exist in the corona based on observations of gyroresonance emission at 15 GHz at coronal temperatures. The strong fields occur in a small source radiating in the extraordinary (x) mode over the penumbra of a large symmetric sunspot. The optically-thin ordinary mode emission from the region shows a nearby peak at only 36,000 K which may be due to a sunspot plume, and a hole over the umbra consistent with the expected low-density material there. The x-mode source is highly asymmetric, despite the apparent symmetry of the sunspot, and its appearance and location imply that the strongest magnetic fields in the corona are localized in a compact flux tube.
