Description
Summary:The article describes microwave observations of the Sun with the radio telescope RT-32 of the Ventspils International Radio Astronomy Center. The observations were performed using a multichannel spectral polarimeter for the 6.3–9.4 GHz frequency range. A set of 2D microwave emission maps of the Sun for the Stokes I and V parameters has been obtained and analyzed.
