The authors' main claim The brightness temperature measured by ALMA is $\sim 6000-7000$ K in the prominence spine, which correlates well with the estimated brightness temperature for a gas temperature of 8000 K.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

We present the first observation of a solar prominence at $84-116$ GHz using the high resolution interferometric imaging of ALMA. Simultaneous observations in H$\alpha$ from Bia{\l}kaw Observatory and with SDO/AIA reveal similar prominence morphology to the ALMA observation. The contribution functions of 3 mm and H$\alpha$ emission are shown to have significant overlap across a range of gas pressures. We estimate the maximum millimetre-continuum optical thickness to be $\tau_\mathrm{3mm}\approx 2$, and the brightness temperature from the observed H$\alpha$ intensity. The brightness temperature measured by ALMA is $\sim 6000-7000$ K in the prominence spine, which correlates well with the estimated brightness temperature for a gas temperature of 8000 K.

The contribution functions of 3 mm and H$\alpha$ emission are shown to have significant overlap across a range of gas pressures. We estimate the maximum millimetre-continuum optical thickness to be $\tau_\mathrm{3mm}\approx 2$, and the brightness temperature from the observed H$\alpha$ intensity.
