Coordinated Field Operation of Balloon-Borne Auroral X-Ray and Photometer Experiment from the ATS-F Satellite Conjugate Region.

Abstract

The results obtained during this contract period have provided a basis for improving and developing new instruments. We have designed a new X-Ray imaging detector that is capable of taking snapshots of the sky in X-rays. Results from this detector design will provide additional information on electron precipitation scales and source dimensions.
