Latitude and Depth Variation of Solar Rotation

The Internal Solar Angular Velocity

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 137))

Abstract

Spectra of solar intensity oscillations in the degree range ℓ = 20–98 were obtained with a 92% duty cycle over a 50 hour period from the geographic South Pole. The spectra have been analyzed for frequency shifts caused by solar internal rotation as functions of latitude and depth. The results have been published elsewhere and some of the intermediate steps in producing the results are illustrated here.
