Gyroresonance emission
Opacity results from electrons gyrating in coronal
magnetic fields at fB = 2.8 106 B Hz.
In the non-flare (non-relativistic) corona this
produces narrow resonances.
Opacity µ   n   B/(B/l)   (T/mc2 sin2q)s-1
where s = 1, 2, 3, … is the harmonic
Because T/mc2 is 1/3000, opacity drops by 3
orders of magnitude from one layer to the next
