High time resolution analysis of solar hard X-ray flares observed on board the ESRO TD-1A satellite.
Abstract
The Utrecht solar hard X-ray spectrometer S-100 on board the ESRO TD-1A satellite covers the energy range above 25 keV with 12 logarithmically spaced channels. Continuous sun-pointing is combined with high time resolution: 1.2 s for the four low energy channels (25-90 keV) and 4.8 s for the others. It is emphasized that the instrument design and calibration yield data virtually free of pile-up and other instrumental defects.
