Scientific paper

Unresolved Doppler velocity measurements are not homogenous across the solar disc (Brookes et al. 1978). We consider one cause of the inhomogeneity that originates from the BiSON instrumentation itself: the intensity of light observed from a region on the solar disc is dependent on the distance between that region on the image of the solar disc formed in the instrument and the detector. The non-uniform weighting affects the realization of the solar noise and the amplitudes of the solar oscillations observed by a detector. An 'offset velocity', which varies with time, is observed in BiSON data and has consequences for the long-term stability of observations. We have attempted to model, in terms of the inhomogeneous weighting, the average observed offset velocity.
