This data set consists of 35-mm slides, supplied by the experimenter, that are copies of computer plots of data on ultraviolet emission in space. There are 30 slides in color (data set 75-057A-08A) and 59 in black and white (data set 75-057A-08B). The color slides each show two charts. The lower chart presents the intensity of ultraviolet radiation measured in space using three different detector-filter combinations for three different wavelength ranges. These combinations are identified on the chart in color for each of the three data plots (one in green, one in blue, and one in red). The upper chart gives four angles of interest: the sun-earth-satellite angle, the local zenith angle, and the latitude and longitude of the intercept of the line of sight on a 100-km-radius sphere. The black-and-white slides also contain two charts. The lower chart shows the intensity of ultraviolet background emission in Rayleighs measured with background detector 1. The upper chart shows the following four angles: the right ascension and declination of the intersection of the line of sight with the celestial sphere, the local zenith angle, and the angle between the line of sight and the downstream flow axis of the local interstellar medium.
