Description
The radial velocity limb shift effect has been measured for the K I 7699 Å line using a resonant scattering spectrophotometer in the summer of 1982. On the other hand, using integral sunlight, the line of sight velocity has been measured during the years 1976 to 1986 and the gravitational redshift determined. This value shows a variation over those years and, when compared with the phase of the solar activity cycle, the most probable interpretation is a change of the limb shift effect with the cycle.
