| dc.description.abstract | This paper documents details of the on-orbit performance, data problem solving, and calibration of the Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT) experiment on Yohkoh. This information is important to a full understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the SXT data set. The paper begins with summaries of SXT calibration issues and how they have been addressed, operational anomalies experienced during the mission, and a brief discussion of the SXT optical train. The following section on the accuracy of Yohkoh pointing determination provides information important for alignment of SXT images with each other and with other solar data. The remainder of the paper gives details of work by the experiment team to understand and ameliorate the many instrument anomalies and changes which impacted the scientific data. | en_US |
| dc.description.sponsorship | This paper embodies research on SXT performance and calibration covering more than a decade, carried out under numerous NASA contracts and grants. Most of the writing was done under NASA Resident Archive grant NNX12AG78G from Goddard Space Flight Center. A. Takeda deserves special acknowledgment for her work in the creation of the Yohkoh Legacy Archive along with A. Davey and S. Freeland who contributed in many ways. The Yohkoh mission was developed and launched by ISAS/JAXA, Japan, with NASA and SERC/PPARC (UK) as international partners. The SXT experiment was a collaboration of the Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan with Prof. T. Hirayama as principal investigator. Dr. S. Tsuneta was the young scientist who did all the work. | en_US |
