The Rotation Of The Deep Solar Layers
From the analysis of low-order GOLF+MDI sectoral modes and LOWL data (l > 3),
we derive the solar radial rotation profile assuming no latitudinal dependance
in the solar core. These low-order acoustic modes contain the most
statistically significant information about rotation of the deepest solar
layers and should be least influenced by internal variability associated with
the solar dynamo. After correction of the sectoral splittings for their
contamination by the rotation of the higher latitudes, we obtain a flat
rotation profile down to 0.2 solar radius.Comment: accepted in ApJ Letters 5 pages, 2 figure
