Abstract

The possibilities of using the RTF-32 radio telescopes of the interferometric QUASAR network for solar observations are investigated. A technique of solar radio mapping with the RTF-32 telescopes is presented. The software developed at the Institute of Applied Astronomy, Russian Academy of Sciences, for reducing such observations is described. The maps of the Sun at 1.35 cm, derived from observations at the Zelenchukskaya observatory November 4–14, 2004, are presented.
