Scientific paper

The rotation velocity of Uranus has been measured by a comparison of
spectroscopic profiles for the 5281.8 A Fraunhofer line reflected from
Uranus and the moon. This method yields a rotation velocity which is
insensitive to atmospheric seeing conditions. Our value for the
equatorial velocity is 3.5 + or - 0.4 km/sec.
