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

โฆ Synopsis
We have made absolute measurements at Kitt Peak of the dependence of solar rotation rate upon latitude during the period 17-20 June 1977. We observed the solar potassium line at 7699,1k using an atomic-beam resonance scattering apparatus. The measured sidereal equatorial rotation rate is 13.5 + 0.5 des day -1. Our results are in agreement with those of Howard and Harvey from 1966-68. We intend to use this technique in a long-term program at Oberlin to monitor the equatorial rotation rate.
