Solar X-ray Data from Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO) Space Missions 1962 - 1978

Entry ID: OSO-01

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Orbiting Solar Observatory (OSO) series 1 - 8 collected solar
X-ray data in the years 1962 - 1978. Many instruments were used to
observe in various photon energy ranges, tabulated below.

The data consist of photon counting rates in certain energy channels,
recorded in tables, plots and catalogs on microfiche, and on digital
magnetic tapes. The instrumentation and quantity of data improved
...
