摘要:AbstractOn the base of the 17 GHz radio maps of the Sun taken with the Nobeyama Radio Heliograph we estimate plasma parameters in the specific region of the sunspot atmosphere in the active region AR 11312. This region of the sunspot atmosphere is characterized by the depletion in coronal emission (soft X-ray and EUV lines) and the reduced absorption in the a chromospheric line (He I 1.083 μm). In the ordinary normal mode of 17 GHz emission the corresponding dark patch has the largest visibility near the central solar meridian. We infer that the reduced coronal plasma density of about ~ 5 × 108cm−3is the characteristic feature of the dark patch.
