It has been suggested that pressure shifts are the sole cause for the systematic blue shift of solar fraunhofer lines (Hart, 1974). To check this we evaluate the significance of pressure shifts for Fe I lines. The observed wavelength shifts of a large number of lines are compared with the shifts cal

The well-known correlation between granulation intensity and velocity fluctuations causes a shift of the average line position called the 'convective blue shift'. It is argued that this convective blue shift is most likely reponsible for the limb effect of solar Fraunhofer lines. To explain the cent
The center-limb behavior of C2, CH, CN, CO, and MgH lines have been analyzed using five photospheric models. A three-stream model developed by G. Elste gave the most satisfactory results, providing evidence for the existence of inhomogeneities in the photospheric layers --2.5 ~< logzs0oo ~< --0.5.
Several lines of neutral oxygen observed at various positions on the solar disk were used to study the influence of (1) the temperature distribution, (2) the velocity field, and (3) the damping on the line profiles and the abundance of oxygen in the photosphere. Theoretical profiles were calculated
