The `limb effect' is the observational finding that many spectral absorption lines formed in the photosphere (FRAUNHOFER LINES) show a REDSHIFT of their mean wavelength when comparing limb observations with observations from the solar disk center. The magnitude of this effect is different for each spectral line and equals some 100 m s-1 when explained as a DOPPLER EFFECT....
