Abstract:
The Continuum emission from the Quiet Sun and active regions is the radiation from the solar atmosphere when there is no transient burst activity. At decametric wavelengths this radiation originates in the outer corona. A study of this radiation offers, therefore, a method of obtaining the density and temperature structure of the outer corona. In this review we provide an account of the observations with the Decameter Wave Radio Telescope at Gauribidanur, and possible interpretation of the origin and variations of the radiation.
