Using Polar Faculae to Determine the Sun’s High-latitude Rotation Rate. I. Techniques and Initial Measurements

This paper describes a new way of determining the high-latitude solar rotation rate statistically from simultaneous observations of many polar faculae. In this experiment, I extracted frames from a movie made previously from flat-fielded images obtained in the 6767 Å continuum during 1997–1998 Febru...
