We have used an atomic-beam resonance-scattering technique applied to the 7699,~ solar potassium absorption line to make an absolute spectroscopic determination of the solar equatorial rotation rate. To our knowledge this is a new method which has not previously been used for studying solar rotation
The phenomenon of solar rotation has been known since the first solar-spot observations in the early 17th century. In the course of the 19th century, Carrington, Spo¨rer, Wolf and others systematised existing data and initiated long-term observational programmes to record the rotation of various obs
An axisymmetric model for the Sun's differential rotation based upon a mechanism for angular momentum transport by compressible convection is developed. Convective heat transport is also considered. The model is simplified by the neglect of meridional circulation and radiative heat transport but is
