✦ Synopsis

An attempt has been made to detect short-period solar luminosity fluctuations in the vicinity of 5 rain, analogous to the observed velocity oscillation. Using silicon photodiodes to monitor integral sunlight, an upper limit for the amplitude of the intensity fluctuations of 3 x 10 -5 rms was found.
