  • Survey of New Solar Results
    SURVEY OF NEW SOLAR RESULTS R.TOUSEY E. O. Hulburt Center for Space Research, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. Abstract. Following a brief historical review, new observations of the sun in the wavelength range 3000 to 20 A are surveyed for the period since about 1958. Vehicles employed have been sounding rockets, the OSO (Orbiting Solar Observatories), balloons for the window 2300-1900 A and for k > 2700 A, and small orbiting observatories such as Solrad, for XUV solar monitoring. Advances have been made in spectral resolution, using echelle gratings and also Fabry-Perot interferometers. Much progress has been made towards increased spatial resolution, to obtain spectra of specific solar features and to analyse the chromosphere and corona. Methods employed include spectrographs that are stigmatic, or that have a stabilized solar image projected onto the slit; slitless objective-type spectrographs; and observations during a total eclipse. Spectra have been obtained of a solar flare, showing its form and intensity in the emission lines between 171 and 630 A. From OSO 4-6 many XUV spectroheliograms and spectra have been obtained over the range 300 to 1350 A, with spatial resolution 35 < 35 arc sec in OSO 6. Photographic XUV spectroheliograms have provided solar images with spatial resolution as great as 3 arc sec in some cases. Although much effort has been spent to increase the accuracy of XUV intensity measurements, a great deal remains to be done before the requirements of solar physics theory are satisfied. Line identification, however, is proceeding well, although more laboratory spectroscopy is needed.

Esta es una relación cronológica de todos los lanzamientos de satélites artificiales de nuestro planeta, con independencia de su éxito o fracaso, tanto en el disparo como en órbita. Significa pues que muchos de ellos no han alcanzado el espacio y fueron destruidos. Se señala en primer lugar (a la izquierda) su nombre, seguido de la fecha del lanzamiento, el país al que pertenece el satélite (que puede ser otro distinto al que lo lanza) y el tipo de satélite; este último aspecto podría no corresponderse en exactitud dado que algunos son de finalidad múltiple. En los lanzamientos múltiples, cada satélite figura separado (salvo en los casos de fracaso, en que no llegan a separarse) pero naturalmente en la misma fecha y juntos.

    The Relation BetweeG Solar Cell Flight Performance Data and Materials and Manufacturing Data Report No. 3 Third Quarterly Report Contract No. NASW-1732 Prepared by The CARA Corporation 101 N. 33rd Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania ’S. R. Pollack, Ph.D. G. R. Zin, P’h.D. Principal Investigator L. A. Girifalco, Ph.D. Staff Scientists ABS TRACT This quarter was spent in acquiring data for the flights chosen for study in the last quarter. Analysis of the environment for the individual flights has begun. This work is progressing with the viewpoint of trying to simplify the environmental specification. The most difficult aspect of the environmental analysis is the speci- fication of the vehicle's thermal history. The vehicles under study are therefore being grouped according to subclassifica- tions based on the nature of the vehicle as the first attempt to find any performance correlations. All of the specific data for the flights under study have been extracted from the literature obtained from the computer searches conducted earlier. These data are incomplete and in- adequate for this study. Examples of the nature of this data were reported in the last quarterly,report and are shown in 8 this report. The data required for this study must be obtained by personal contacts with individuals who have been connected with the various flights. The appropriate individuals to contact have been identified for 75 of the 77 flights included in this study. These people have been and are being contacted to obtain the required data. i Table of Contents Fage I. Introduction 1 11. The Selected Flights and Environment 3 111.

  • 5 Orbit and Ground Track of a Satellite
    5 Orbit and Ground Track of a Satellite 5.1 Position of the Satellite on its Orbit Let (O; x, y, z) be the Galilean reference frame already defined. The satellite S is in an elliptical orbit around the centre of attraction O. The orbital plane P makes a constant angle i with the equatorial plane E. However, although this plane P is considered as fixed relative to in the Keplerian motion, in a real (perturbed) motion, it will in fact rotate about the polar axis. This is precessional motion,1 occurring with angular speed Ω˙ , as calculated in the last two chapters. A schematic representation of this motion is given in Fig. 5.1. We shall describe the position of S in using the Euler angles. 5.1.1 Position of the Satellite The three Euler angles ψ, θ and χ were introduced in Sect. 2.3.2 to specify the orbit and its perigee in space. In the present case, we wish to specify S. We obtain the correspondence between the Euler angles and the orbital elements using Fig. 2.1: ψ = Ω, (5.1) θ = i, (5.2) χ = ω + v. (5.3) Although they are fixed for the Keplerian orbit, the angles Ω, ω and M − nt vary in time for a real orbit. The inclination i remains constant, however. The distance from S to the centre of attraction O is given by (1.41), expressed in terms of the true anomaly v : a(1 − e2) r = . (5.4) 1+e cos v 1 The word ‘precession’, meaning ‘the action of preceding’, was coined by Coper- nicus around 1530 (præcessio in Latin) to speak about the precession of the equinoxes, i.e., the retrograde motion of the equinoctial points.

  • Study of the Post-Flare Loops on 29 July 1973
    STUDY OF THE POST-FLARE LOOPS ON 29 JULY 1973 IV. Revision of T and n e Values and Comparison with the Flare of 21 May 1980 Z. SVESTKA l, H.W. DODSON-PRINCE 2, S. F. MARTIN 3, O. C. MOHLER 2, R. L. MOORE 4, J. T. NOLTE 5, and R. D. PETRASSO 5 (Received 12 May; in revised form 18 September, 1981) Abstract. We present revised values of temperature and density for the flare loops of 29 July 1973 and compare the revised parameters with those obtained aboard the SMM for the two-ribbon flare of 21 May 1980. The 21 May flare occurred in a developed sunspot group; the 29 July event was a spotless two-ribbon flare. We find that the loops in the spotless flare extended higher (by a factor of 1.4-2.2), were less dense (by a factor of 5 or more in the first hour of development), were generally hotter, and the whole loop system decayed much slower than in the spotted flare (i.e. staying at higher temperature for a longer time). We also align the hot X-ray loops of the 29 July flare with the bright H~ ribbons and show that the Hc~ emission is brightest at the places where the spatial density of the hot elementary loops is enhanced. I. Introduction The two-ribbon flare of 29 July 1973, observed in soft X-rays on Skylab and in the H light on the ground, was the subject of a detailed study by Moore et al. (1979) during the Skylab Flare Workshop (Sturrock, 1979).
