摘要
The Solar Diameter Monitor measured the duration of solar meridian transits during the 6 years 1981-1987, spanning the declining half of solar cycle 21. We have combined these photoelectric measurements with models of the solar limb-darkening function, deriving a mean value for the solar near-equatorial radius of 695.508 +/- 0.026 Mm. Annual averages of the radius are identical within the measurement error of +/- 0.037 Mm.
