Notes. Structures refer to the regions of interest denoted in Fig. 1a: central quiet Sun (QS), sunspot (SS), active region (AR1), magnetic inversion line (IL), prominence on the disc (PR/FIL1) and coronal hole (CH1). The mean values of brightness temperature of these structures, given here in K together with their corresponding standard deviations, are compared with the ones of the quiet Sun regions at the same radial distances from the centre of the solar disc, r in pixels. The averaging was performed within selected regions of interest and the number of pixels within is denoted by n.
