Description
Radial velocity measurements of the sun as a star using a resonant
scattering spectrometer have been obtained at Izaña (Tenerife)
during long observing seasons from 1976 to 1985. Its analysis shows that
except for the global oscillations with periods shorter than one day
there are stable signals with longer periods: at ≡13 days with
mean amplitude of ≡3 m/s (it changes with the solar cycle) and
another one of ≡15 m/s amplitude which shows a temporal variation
of various years related to the solar cycle. The first signal has a
partial explanation as an effect produced by the passage of active
regions through the visible surface of the sun but it does not
completely explain the observed signal. The second one, related to the
limb shift, is probably due to changes in the convection zone in
connection with the solar cycle.
