A Search for Periodic Variations of Solar Radio Emission at 3{middle dot}7- and 11{middle dot}1-cm Wavelengths

Periodic time variations in the emission of quiet solar regions were sought with the NRAO three-element interferometer at 3.7 and 11.1 cm. The visibility function of a source as obtained with a tracking interferometer is an implicit function of time, because of projected baseline changes, and therefore only observations taken when the baseline changes vary slowly with time were used. The visibility function shows significant time variations, but a power-spectrum analysis of the data revealed no unique periodicity.
