Abstract

Initially, the Quasar VLBI Network of the IAA RAS was intended to solve some tasks in the field of space geodesy. However, its technical characteristics turned out to be very suitable for conducting studies of the microwave emission of the Sun using observations of solar eclipses. They have been conducted at the IAA RAS radio telescopes for two 11-year cycles of solar activity (1999–2022) already. The objective of this work was to generalize the results obtained in order to determine the possibilities and prospects for further development of solar research at the IAA RAS. The article presents an overview of all 9 eclipse observations made. A brief description of the used method of observations and their processing is given as well as the technical characteristics of the receiving equipment and the registration system. The method used is considered the best in terms of the accuracy of coordinate measurements, which makes it possible to reach the maximum allowable diffraction value of ~ 3 arcsec. The main results of the observations concerning the fine spatial structure and spectral-polarization characteristics of individual local details of radiation sources (sunspots, interspot radiation, radiogranulation, prominences) are presented. The effective brightness temperature of the Sun and its radio radius are measured. Analysis of the results showed that with the development of the instrumental base, the quality of the results obtained was constantly increasing and it is currently at a good modern level. To further improve the quality and effectiveness of studies, it is recommended to supplement them with longer, non-eclipsing observations of the Sun using new techniques, choosing the moments when the instruments are not involved in performing the main navigational tasks.
