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

We have measured the rotation rate of short-lived solar filaments as a function of their latitude. The resulting rotation curve appears to be somewhat flatter than the corresponding curve for long-lived filaments. Solar Physics 55 (1977) 499-504. All Rights Reserved Copyright 9 1977 by D. Reidel Pu
The rotation of the solar corona has been studied using recurrence properties of the green coronal line (5303 A,) for the interval 1947-1970. Short-lived coronal activity is found to show the same differential rotation as short-lived photospheric magnetic field features. Long-lived recurrences show
A general mathematical formulation of the effect of spatial smearing on solar velocity measurements is presented. The variations of the straylight induced error with wavelength and line parameters are discussed. The spatial and time dependence of the error will influence the measurement of solar lim
A mathematical method for calculating the influence of scattered light on solar Doppler measurements is developed and presented. It is shown that the main contribution to the error signal is caused by the long range scattering component of the stray-light. The method is applied on Doppler measurem
