Abstract

Full disk observations of the 5-min solar oscillations have been obtained with a lithium niobate Fabry-Perot filter. The equatorial solar rotation rate as a function of depth has been inferred from the sectoral modes of oscillation using the Backus-Gilbert optimal averaging inversion method. The results show a rotation rate that slowly decreases over the depths of 15 to 56 Mm below the photosphere. The results are in agreement with the previous Duvall-Harvey observations.
