Abstract

This paper presents the results of processing the data on the partial solar eclipse that occurred on March 20, 2015, and was observed with the RT-3 (λ = 4.9 cm) and RT-2 (λ = 3.2 cm) radio telescopes of the Kislovodsk Mountain Astronomical Station, Central Astronomical Observatory, Russian Academy of Sciences (MAS CAO RAS). They were compared with observations in the optical and X-ray ranges. The local radio sources at the limb and on the disc of the Sun were identified: an eruptive and a quiet prominence; filaments; a coronal hole; facular plages; and a sunspot group. The curves of the center-to-limb variations in the radio brightness of the undisturbed regions of the Sun were plotted for λ = 4.9 and λ = 3.2 cm. The solar radio maps were presented. The altitude of the radiating layer in the chromosphere above the sunspot and the facular sources for λ = 4.9 cm λ = 3.2 cm was compared.
