The rotation of the solar atmosphere at different altitudes
Abstract
A new method for determining the solar rotation velocity is proposed. A comparison was made between the observed central depths of Fraunhofer lines in the spectrum of the sun as a star and calculations based on center-limb observations. For altitudes in the range of 100-1100 km above the level of the continuous spectrum, the solar rotation velocity hardly changes.
