NSSDCA ID: SOXR-00001
Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)
Time span: 1972-01-01 to 1973-06-30
This data set is in the form of plots of X-ray flux vs time. The abscissa of each plot is scaled in hours of universal time (UT). The date and year are printed at the top left in yymmdd format. The ordinate is scaled in X-ray flux units of ergs/sq cm-s multiplied by the indicated power of 10. Starting from the top of the frame, the first plot is the X-ray flux for the 8- to 20-A detector; the second, that from the 1- to 8-A detector; the third, that from the 1- to 5-A detector; and the fourth, that from the 0.5- to 3-A detector, denoted as 0-3 flux for brevity. The bottom plot, which has its own scale running from 2 to 16 counts, is the digital count output for the background data of the 0.5- to 3-A detector. These background data are used as indicators of charged particle interference with the X-ray experiments. Gaps occurring simultaneously in all data lines and at regularly spaced time intervals indicate satellite night. Gaps in one or more data lines, not regularly spaced in time, indicate particle interference.
