An IUE archive spectrum of HD 140283 has been analyzed in the region of the 3131 Å 9Be II resonance doublet. Close comparison of the observed and synthetic spectra yields no measurable Be, and a conservative upper limit of 3×10-12 for 9Be, which is one fourth solar, can be set. With this star, and with a previous population II star HD 76932

A calibrated numerical simulation of seasons for which there are observations of the passage of active regions across the visible disk of the sun, generating a velocity signal that can be compared with the Claverie et al. (1982) observations, has yielded values of this signal for a complete solar cycle. The results obtained indicate that the

If such external influences as the impact of a comet on the solar surface could destroy or mask the coherence of observed solar oscillations, the scope and effectiveness of extended study in this field would be considerably limited. It is therefore important to investigate any possible effects due to the recently reported comet impacts on the sun

A statistical analysis of the frequency spectrum of 85 days of data obtained from integral solar velocity signals, has shown that significant signals exist in the frequency range 25 - 150 μHz. The signal structure is shown to have characteristics of constant period spacings indicative of the existence of g modes in the solar oscillation spectrum

Extensive solar data obtained over the period May to August 1982 are analyzed to show the continued existence, over a six-year period, of a 13-day velocity signal of 6 m/s amplitude. Mean daily velocity signals are shown with a superimposed best-fit sine wave, and the power spectrum obtained from that fit is presented. Data comparing measured and
