摘要
In the present investigation we measure the differential rotation of strong magnetic flux during solar cycles 21 - 23 with the method of wavelet transforms. We find that the cycle-averaged synodic rotation rate of strong magnetic flux can be written as omega=13.47-2.58sin (2) theta or omega=13.45-2.06sin (2) theta-1.37sin (4) theta, where theta is the latitude. They agree well with the results derived from sunspots. A north-south asymmetry of the rotation rate is found at high latitudes (28 degrees <theta < 40 degrees). The strong flux in the southern hemisphere rotates faster than that in the northern hemisphere by 0.2 deg day(-1). The asymmetry continued for cycles 21 -23 and may be a secular property.
