Abstract

Solar observations through the atmospheric pass-band centred at 250 GHz have been made in the form of isophote maps. These show chromospheric features which have higher brightness temperatures than the mean disc temperature by up to 10%. Examination of corresponding maps at lower frequencies and also of Caii and Hα spectroheliograms reveals that the hot areas lie above photospheric active regions, and are regular features of the chromospheric millimetric emission having stable structure and duration of several weeks. Less frequently observed variable enhancements are also described, and linked with the formation of the stable active regions.
