The effect of a rigidly rotating core on frequency splitting is shown to be approximately the same for all the observed low-degree modes. It is suggested that, in analysing poorly resolved rotationally split multiplets in oscillation power spectra, one should first determine a single value for the splitting instead of estimating the splitting for individual modes separately. By using this technique for fitting lines with l = 1,2 of the IPHIR spectra, a mean sidereal splitting of 0.468 +/- 0.036 and of 0.427 +/- 0.046 micro-Hertz has been obtained for the green and red channels of the IPHIR photometer, respectively. The average value of these measurements, 0.452 +/- 0.020 micro-Hertz, suggests that the central core of the sun rotates with the same period of approximately 26 days as the outer part of the radiative zone.
