1st High Energy Astrophysics Observatory
(HEAO 1. GSFC. NASA)
-
The first of NASA's three High Energy Astronomy Observatories, HEAO
1 was launched aboard an Atlas Centaur rocket on 12
August 1977 and operated until 9 January 1979. During that
time, it scanned the X-ray sky almost three times over
0.2 keV - 10 MeV, provided nearly constant monitoring of
X-ray sources near the ecliptic poles, as well as more
detailed studies of a number of objects through pointed observations.

ALEXIS' X-ray telescopes feature curved mirrors whose multilayer coatings reflect
and focus low-energy X-rays or extreme ultraviolet light the way
optical telescopes focus visible light. The satellite and payloads were
funded by the Department of Energy and built by Los Alamos National Laboratory in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratory
and the University of California-Space Sciences Lab. The Launch was
provided by the Air Force Space Test Program on a
Pegasus Booster on April 25, 1993. The mission is entirely
controlled from a small groundstation at LANL.

The Astronomical Data Center (ADC), at NASA Goddard Space Flight
Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, is a cooperative effort between the National
Space Science Data Center (NSSDC)/ World Data Center A for
Rockets and Satellites (WDC-A-R&S) and its parent organization, the Space
Science Data Operations Office . Currently, the ADC archives hold
more than 670 catalogs of astrometry, photometry, spectroscopy, radio, and
other miscellaneous data for stellar and nonstellar objects. The data
were acquired through exchanges with the Centre de Donn'ees Astronomiques
de Strasbourg (CDS) , other astronomical data centers throughout the
world, and by direct contributions from the international astronomical community.

Atomic Line List
-
The atomic line list is a compilation of approximately 855,000
allowed, intercombination and forbidden atomic transitions with wavelengths in the
range from 0.5 Å to 1000 µm. Its primary intention
is to allow the identification of observed atomic absorption or
emission features. The list is nearly complete for all ionization
stages of all elements up to zinc. Transition probabilities are
available for nearly 14% of the lines; they are mostly
derived from Opacity Project data.

-
The X-ray astronomy satellite BeppoSAX (Satellite per Astronomia X, "Beppo"
in honor of Giuseppe Occhialini) is a project of the
Italian Space Agency (ASI) with participation of the Netherlands
Agency for Aerospace Programs (NIVR).
In the framework of
past and future X-ray missions BeppoSAX stands out for its
wide spectral coverage, ranging from 0.1 to over 200 keV.
The sensitivity of the scientific payload allows the detailed study
over the entire energy band of sources as weak as
about 1/20 of 3C273. This opens new perspectives in the
study of broad band X-ray spectra and variability of cosmic
sources. [also in Italian]

the field-of-view of tens of arcminutes, and a sensitivity several
100 times greater than any mission before it provided, for
the first time, the capability to image extended objects, diffuse
emission, and to detect faint sources. It was also the
first X-ray NASA mission to have a Guest Observer program.
Overall, it was a key mission in X-ray astronomy and
its scientific outcome completely changed the view of the X-ray

other instruments can make follow-up observations in other wavebands while

The interests in astrophysics of the Astrophysics and Radiation Measurements
Group (NIS-2) focus on gamma-ray bursts, x-ray binaries, accretion- and
rotation-powered pulsars, neutron star dynamics, atomic processes in astrophysical sources,
soft x-ray and EUV backgrounds, and EUV and soft x-ray
transients such as flare stars.
An important mission of
the group is to develop new types of optical, ultraviolet,
x-ray and gamma-ray detectors for ground and space applications. The
group has flown high-energy instruments on Pioneer Venus Orbiter, the
ISEE-3 (ICE), P78-1, Vela satellites, and the Japanese satellite Ginga.
The group is currently developing experiments for several scientific missions
including the X-ray Multimirror Mission (XMM), High Energy Transient Explorer
(HETE), MARS-96, and the MOXE all sky x-ray monitor on
the Russian Spectrum X-Gamma satellite project, and is the lead
institution operating the Array of Low Energy X-ray Imaging Sensors
(ALEXIS) satellite and its wide field-of-view ultrasoft x-ray telescope array.
The group is actively participating in Compton Gamma Ray
Observatory (CGRO) and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) research through
several guest investigator projects, and is also involved in establishing
the growing-up Fenton Hill Observatory in the Jemez mountains, which
includes an ultra-high-energy gamma-ray telescope, Milagro.

under construction: ROTSE-I, a 4-fold camera array using telephoto lenses
to cover a 16 degree by 16 degree field of
view and ROTSE-II, a pair of 0.45 meter aperture telescopes
to cover a 2 degree by 2 degree field of
