Investigation of Solar Rotation Using Coronal Holes

  • Published:
Astrophysics Aims and scope

The rotation of the solar coronal holes was studied. Data from the Kitt Peak Observatory in the line 10830 Å He I for 2003—2012 was used for this purpose. The rotation of 434 coronal holes in the latitude interval ±40° was studied. The maximum angular velocity is observed at latitudes ±15°. Coronal holes have a lower angular velocity (13.39 deg/day) and rotate less differentially than the solar photosphere.
