Algorithms for locating celestial sources of X-rays and gamma flares with the aid of several spacecraft
Abstract
An Algorithm is suggested for defining the coordinates of X-ray and Gamma Ray radiation sources by measuring the time lag of the transmission of radiation flares from various points of space in which spacecraft are located. Instances are cited where the 2-x, 3-x and 4x spacecraft are used.
