Abstract

Curves showing the contrast of individual bright and dark mottles near the limb at various wavelengths in the Hα line have been plotted from observations made through a 1/8 Å filter. The results cannot be explained in terms of the ‘cloud’ model of mottles proposed by Beckers (1964) and employed with some success by Grossmann-Doerth and von Uexküll (1971) and Bray (1973) to interpret the profiles of bright and dark mottles near the centre of the disk.
