Abstract

Wavelength shifts converted to velocities between solar lines observed at disc center and laboratory wavelengths of Fe i, Fe ii, Ti i, Ni i, and Fe i lines in the near infrared are plotted as a function of the logarithm of their solar equivalent width in milliangstroms. The need for wavelengths based on the wavelength standards is stressed. A comparison of photographic Fe i solar wavelength is shown to agree, on the average, with Fourier Transform Spectrometer solar wavelengths within less than 0.5 milliangstroms. Using Balthasar's limb effect tables we convert the disc center velocities to limb velocities and find, though the scatter is large, that there is little evidence for a super-gravitational red shift.
