Abstract
Ten months of solar total irradiance data from the Solar Maximum Mission satellite have generated accurate frequencies, amplitudes and linewidths for individual ∼5-min solar p-mode ocillations of low degree. The modes can be described as independent and chaotically excited oscillators, and provide no evidence for the fine structure taken to imply rapid internal rotation of the Sun.
