  Here we report in depth reanalysis of a paper by Vats et al. (2001)
[Astrophys. J. 548, L87] based on the measurements of differential rotation
with altitude as a function of observing frequencies (as lower and higher
frequencies indicate higher and lower heights, respectively) in the solar
corona. The radial differential rotation of the solar corona is estimated from
daily measurements of the disc-integrated solar radio flux at 11 frequencies:
(275, 405, 670, 810, 925, 1080, 1215, 1350, 1620, 1755 MHz and 2800 MHz). We
use the same data as were used in Vats et al. (2001), but instead of the 12th
maxima of autocorrelograms used there, we use the 1st secondary maxima to
derive the synodic rotation period. We estimate synodic rotation by Gaussian
fit of the 1st secondary maxima. Vats et al. (2001) reported that the sidereal
rotation period increases with increasing frequency. The variation found by
them was from 23.6 to 24.15 days in this frequency range with a difference of
only 0.55 days. The present study finds that sidereal rotation period increases
with decreasing frequency. The variation range is from 24.4 to 22.5 days and
difference is about three times larger (1.9 days). However, at 925 MHz both
studies give similar rotation period. In Vats et al. (2001) the Pearson factor
with trend line was 0.86 whereas present analysis obtained a ~ 0.97 Pearson
factor with the trend line. Our study shows that the solar corona rotates
slower at higher altitudes, which is in contradiction to the findings reported
in Vats et al. (2001).
