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
The differential rotation of the large-scale photospheric magnetic field has been investigated with an autocorrelation technique using synoptic charts of the photospheric field during the interval 1959-66. Near the equator the rotation period of the field is nearly the same as the rotation rate of l
The differential rotation of the solar corona has been analyzed using as the input data the brightness of the coronal green line Fe XIV 530.3 nm for more than five activity cycles. It is found that the character of rotation of the solar corona changes during the activity cycle. Approximately at the
An interesting aspect of solar rotation is the fact that coronal holes seem to exhibit little or no differential rotation. We set out to investigate the question of whether or not the photospheric magnetic fields underlying coronal holes also exhibit reduced differential rotation. In order to accomp
