X-Ray Spectroscopy of Solar Active Regions During the Third Skylab Mission
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Summary
This paper describes the analysis of soft X-ray spectra of solar active regions observed on a Skylark sounding rocket flight. The experiment was launched from Woomera, South Australia, at 0535 UT on 26th November 1973. The payload consisted of 3 plane scanning Bragg crystal spectrometers, covering the wavelength range 4 to 23 Å, and collimated to 3 arc min FWHM. The instrument was the same as that used by Parkinson (1972, 1973). The launch was part of a collaborative observing program with American Science & Engineering who obtained X-ray photographs of the Sun with the S0-54 ATM X-ray telescope, simultaneously with the Leicester observations. We report preliminary results for McMath region 12624 (S10 W28). This region was observed about 60 min after the peak of an importance – N, class CO flare.
