AbstractAbstract
[en] The Skylab ATM/S-056 X-Ray Event Analyzer, part of an x-ray telescope experiment, is described. The techniques employed in the analysis of its data to determine electron temperatures and emission measures are reviewed. The analysis of a sample event - the 15 June 1973 1B/M3 flare - is performed. Comparison of the X-Ray Event Analyzer data with those of the SolRad 9 observations indicates that the X-Ray Event Analyzer accurately monitored the Sun's 2.5 to 7.25 A x-ray emission and to a lesser extent the 6.1 to 20 A emission. A mean average peak temperature of 15 million K at 1,412 UT and a mean average peak electron density (assuming a flare volume of 1013km3) of 27 million/mm3 1,416 to 1,417 UT are deduced for the event. The X-Ray Event Analyzer data, having a 2.5 s time resolution, should be invaluable in comparisons with other high-time resolution data (e.g., radio bursts)
