PHOTOSPHERIC MAGNETIC FIELD ROTATION: RIGID AND DIFFERENTIAL.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0707746 | Need Help?

Abstract:

An autocorrelation of the direction of the large-scale photospheric magnetic field observed during 1959-1967 has yielded evidence that the field structure at a given heliographic latitude can display both differential rotation and rigid rotation properties.
