This data set is a copy of the Film Image Catalog (FIC) which catalogs the data obtained by the AS+E (American Science + Engineering) X-ray Spectrographic Telescope (Experiment S-054). This catalog is a computer listing copied onto 16 mm microfilm. The data appear as 22 columns across each page. Each data frame, or X-ray picture of the sun, is described by the data in one row of the catalog. The columns include: a cross-reference index to the frame number printed on the film itself, the calendar date and the Greenwich mean time (UT) to the nearest second of the end of that frame's exposure, the exposure duration in seconds, the filter in place during that exposure, a notation whether the grating was in place or not, pitch and yaw offsets from the sun center (in arc-s), and various other housekeeping parameters such as operational mode, Skylab orbit number, etc. This catalog essentially gives complete data for all five S-054 film magazines. Any errors are of a minor nature and should not affect the user. For more information on this data set, contact Dr. Allen Krieger, Radiation Science, Inc., P.O. Box 293, Belmont, MA 02178.
