Coronal bright points in microwavesAn excellent map of the quiet sun showing coronal bright points at 20-cm wavelength was produced using the VLA on February 13, 1987. The locations of bright points (BPs) were studied relative to features on the photospheric magnetogram and Ca K spectroheliogram. Most bright points appearing in the full 5-hour synthesized map are associated with small bipolar structures on the photospheric magnetogram; and the brightest part of a BP tends to lie on the boundary of a supergranulation network. The bright points exhibit rapid variations in intensity superposed on an apparently slow variation.
