    Description: A model of filament formation based on the condensation of coronal arches is described. The condensation results from initiating the radiative instability within an arch by superimposing a transient energy supply upon the steady state heating mechanism. The transient energy supply increases the density within the arch so that when it is removed the radiative losses are sufficient to lead to cooling below the minimum in the power loss curve. Times from the initial formation of the condensation to its temperature stabilization as a cool filament have been calculated for various initial conditions. They lie in the range 10,000-100,000 s with the majority of the time spent above a temperature of 1 x 10 to the 6th K. Under the assumption that the condensation of a single arch forms an element of the filament, a complete filament requires the condensation of an arcade of loops. Using experimentally derived parameters, filament densities of 10 to the 11th to 10 to the 12th per cu cm can be obtained.

    Description: Coordinated high-resolution (1-3 arcsec) observations of two active solar regions (H 421 and H 419) on November 16, 1979, are reported: soft-X-ray filtergrams from a sounding rocket flight, VLA total-intensity and circular-polarization microwave (6-cm) radio maps, KPNO full-disk photospheric magnetograms, and BBSO H-alpha data. The images were converted to 4.8-arcsec/mm-scale transparencies and coaligned on the basis of sunspot positions for comparison. The two active regions are characterized in detail, and intensity, size, and polarization data for the brightest microwave components (BMC) are listed. It is found that 19 of the 32 BMC are farther than 5 arcsec from any sunspot, and that X-ray-emitting structures only rarely correspond to sunspots, or BMC. About one third of the BMC are located at the feet or legs of coronal loops smaller than about 50,000 km. The limitations implied by these obervations for proposed thermal-bremsstrahlung, thermal-gyro-resonance, and nonthermal microwave-emission mechanisms are discussed.

    Description: Soft X-ray imaging of the solar corona during the period 1970 to 1978 resulted in significant modifications to the view of the solar cycle with respect to both the properties of the large scale (coronal holes) and small scale (X-ray Bright Points) solar magnetic field. In the latter case, the particular contribution is to the emerging magnetic flux. Sounding rocket observations combined with the Skylab data indicate that the XBP are anticorrelated with sunspot number and are the dominant contributors to the solar cycle. A continuous data set covering a complete cycle would enable the validity of this result which has serious implications for the nature of the solar dynamo, to be confirmed.

    Description: The properties of coronal arches located on the peripheries of active regions, observed during a sounding rocket flight on March 8, 1973, are discussed. The arches are found to overlie filament channels and their footpoints are traced on locations on the perimeters of supergranulation cells. The arches have a wide range of lengths although their widths are well approximated by the value 2.2 x 10 to the 9th cm. Comparison of the size of the chromospheric footprint with the arc width indicates that arches do not always expand as they ascend into the corona. The electron temperatures and densities of the plasma contained in the arches were measured and the pressure calculated; typical values are 2-million K, 1 x 10 to the 9th/cu cm, and 0.2 dyne/sq cm, respectively. The variation of these parameters with position along the length of the arch indicates that the arches are not in hydrostatic equilibrium.

    Description: Coronal holes observed in solar soft X-ray images obtained with rocket-borne telescopes during 1974 to 1981 are compared with holes observed on nearly simultaneous 10830 A maps. Hole boundaries are frequently poorly defined, and after 1974 the brightness contrast between the large scale structure and holes appears substantially diminished in both X-rays and 10830 A. Good agreement is found between soft X-rays and 10830 A for large area holes but poor agreement for mid and low latitude small area holes, which are generally of low contrast. These results appear inconsistent with the popular view that the quiet corona is sharply separated into open magnetic field regions consisting of coronal holes and closed field regions consisting of the large scale structure.

    Description: Observational data relating to the evolution of the polar magnetic field around sunspot maximum is examined. Particular emphasis is given to coronal hole observations performed during the last two solar maxima. Long-term averages of the latitudinal dependence of the photospheric magnetic field and the evolutionary pattern of the polar crown filaments are used to trace the poleward motion of the reversal of the large-scale field and are compared to the redevelopment of polar holes. Within the context of phenomenological models of the solar cycle, it is concluded that: (1) the process of polarity reversal and redevelopment of polar holes is discontinuous, with surges of flux of old-cycle polarity interrupting the poleward migration of new-cycle flux; (2) contrary to the Babcock (1961) hypothesis, the polar crown disappears months after the magnetic pole reversal; and (3) the observations support suggestions of a poleward meridional flow around solar maximum that cannot be accounted for by Leighton-type (1964) diffusion.

    Description: X-ray images obtained during two rocket flights near the maximum of sunspot cycle 21 now allow the study of the variation of X-ray bright point number over an eleven-year period covering the maxima of the last two cycles. The new data are consistent with the earlier conclusion that the temporal variation of bright point and sunspot number are out of phase. The quantities are related through a power law with a negative exponent of 2/3.

    Description: Simultaneous high resolution soft X-ray, and 6-cm images of the decay phase of an M3 X-ray flare in Hale Region 16413 have been compared. The X-ray images were obtained with a sounding rocket flown on November 7, 1979 and the 6-cm observations were made with the VLA. A large loop system approximately 1.3 arc min in length, with an average temperature of about 8,000,000 K made up the X-ray flare structure. The peak 6-cm emission seemed to originate from a region below the X-ray loop, and its predicted flux due to thermal bremsstrahlung was approximately one order of magnitude less than observed. The expected gyroresonance absorption is examined through a loop geometry model, and it is found that thermal gyroresonance emission requiring large azimuthal or radial field components, or non-thermal gyrosynchrotron emission which involves continuous electron acceleration, may explain the observations.
