Description
Estimates of the spectral linewidths of low degree (l = 0 and l = 1),
5-min p-modes obtained from Doppler shift observations in 1984 (63 d)
and 1986 (63 d) are reported. The observed linewidths increase from 0.5
micro-Hz at 2000 micro-Hz to 3 micro-Hz at 3800 micro-Hz for l = 0.
Comparison with other data suggests that for a given frequency the
linewidth increases with increasing values of l. On the assumption that
the linewidth is substantially due to damping processes, the linewidths
are consistent with e-folding times between 3.7 and 0.6 d.
