A study of coronal bright points at 20 cm wavelength

The paper presents the results of a study of coronal bright points observed at 20 cm with the VLA on a day when the sun was exceptionally quiet. Microwave maps of bright points were obtained using data for the entire observing period of 5 hours, as well as for shorter periods of a few minutes. Most bright points, especially those appearing in the full-period maps, appear to be associated with small bipolar structures on the photospheric magnetogram. Overlays of bright point (BP) maps on the Ca(+) K picture, show that the brightest part of BP tends to lie on the boundary of a supergranulation network.
