The data are solar EUV spectra obtained by the NRL EUV spectrograph, recorded on strips of black and white 70-mm film, with eight spectral frames being recorded on each film strip. The strip covers the 970 to 3940-A spectral range, with a spectral resolution of between 0.04 and 0.08 A. The overall spectra are readable, but some film strips were contaminated by outside lights. A compendium of these data, entitled "The High-Resolution Solar Spectrum, 1175-1710 A, " by G.D. Sandlin, J.-D.F.Bartoe, G.E. Brueckner, R. Tousey, and M.E. VanHoosier, was published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, v. 61, pp. 801-898, 1986. Rocket flights were made on September 4, 1973, and January 15, 1974, to calibrate these spectra, and the rocket data are available on magnetic tapes at NSSDC under the identification number RS-12A. Parties interested in detailed scientific aspects of these spectra may contact Dr. J.-D.F. Bartoe, Naval Research Laboratory, Washington DC 20375.
