Abstract
Source-function distributions compatible with observations of darkening at the extreme solar limb are found by means of an analytical expansion. It is shown that continuous emission from the chromosphere makes a significant contribution to the intensity for < 0.2. When this effect is allowed for, the observations imply the presence of a temperature minimum between 3900 and #700 in the photosphere in the region 0.01 < To <0.04.
