Abstract

We have measured the temperature of the Sun in the 300-1000 μm region through the atmospheric windows at the high altitude observatory of Testa Grigia, Italy. 3500 m a.s.l. The far i.r. detector used in this experiment is a 150cm flux collector with a germanium bolometer. A set of interferential filters coupled to a specially designed radiometer allow us to isolate and measure the atmospheric windows transmittance with a precision of 1 per cent. The results obtained are in agreement with the HSRA model of the Sun.
