Scientific paper

Long-lived photospheric polar faculae are used to ascertain the sidereal rotation rate of the high-latitude solar regions. It is noted that there is a differential rotation of the polar faculae close to the solar activity maximum, while the latitude gradient of solar rotation decreases toward the sunspot minimum; in addition, there are deviations of differential rotation curves constructed for each Carrington rotation from the mean curve of differential rotation. The positive surplus velocities of solar rotation move in the form of a wave from heliographic latitudes at about 40 deg, with a velocity of 1.6 m/sec. This wave starts in the year of minimum solar activity and reaches the pole 11 years later.
