dc.description.abstract© 2022 The Author(s) 2022. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.We present the first observation of a solar prominence at 84 - 116 GHz using the high resolution interferometric imaging of ALMA. Simultaneous observations in Hα from Białkaw Observatory and with SDO/AIA reveal similar prominence morphology to the ALMA observation. The contribution functions of 3 mm and Hα emission are shown to have significant overlap across a range of gas pressures. We estimate the maximum millimetre-continuum optical thickness to be τ3mm ≈ 2, and the brightness temperature from the observed Hα intensity. The brightness temperature measured by ALMA is ∼6000 - 7000 K in the prominence spine, which correlates well with the estimated brightness temperature for a kinetic temperature of 8000 K.
