The Change of the Solar Velocity with Increasing Distances of the Stars from the Galactic Plane

Recent observations of one hundred fine structure lines in the solar grating spec- trum, lying in the interval from 77,000 to 110,000 A, are described in connection with previous measurements of the solar prismatic spectrum.elocity decreases with respect to stars of a given spectral class, at increasing distances from the galactic plane. The investigations in which no stars were excluded on account of high velocity or stream membership, such as the McCormick analysis, show the effect more clearly than those in which such stars were excluded
