GALLEX
-
The GALLEX experiment was performed by an international collaboration headed
by MPIK Heidelberg. GALLEX measured the solar neutrino flux produced
inside the Sun by proton-proton fusion. As target for neutrino
capture, a large amount (30 tons) of the rare element
Gallium in form of an aqueous solution of Galliumtrichloride was
used. To protect the detector from the interfering cosmic radiation
one must go deep underground. Hence the experiment was carried
out under the shielding of Italy's highest mountain outside the
Alps, the Gran Sasso d'Italia in the Abruzzo region.

Midcourse Space Experiment

The MSX observatory is a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization project
which offers major benefits for both the defense and civilian

April 24, 1996, into a 900 km, polar, near-Sun synchronous
orbit. The spacecraft featured an advanced multispectral image capability to
gather data on test targets and space background phenomena.
The infrared sensors operated at 11 to 12 degrees Kelvin
by employing a solid hydrogen cryostat. The IR instruments span
the range 4.2 - 26 microns. The focal plane array
consists of five bands and the radiometer beam-size is more
than 25 times smaller than IRAS. As a result, much
greater spatial resolution than anything currently available has been obtained.
The cryogen phase of the mission ended on 26 February
1997. During the ten month cryogen phase of the mission
over 200 Giga Bytes of data on Celestial Backgrounds were
obtained.

Solar Physics at Stanford University
-
Observational and theoretical research in the physics of the sun
is carried out at Stanford University in several research groups.
The Wilcox Solar Observatory and Solar Oscillations Investigation programs are
conducted by a group of scientists and supporting staff associated
with the Center for Space Science and Astrophysics (CSSA) and
the Hansen Exerimental Physics Laboratories (HEPL), under the direction of
Philip H. Scherrer (CSSA and the Department of Physics).

Solar Terrestrial Dispatch
(STD)
-
The Solar Terrestrial Dispatch (STD) provides information regarding the state
of the Sun and its effect on the Earth and
the space environment near the Earth.
STD's primary responsibility
is to provide support and time-critical solar and geophysical information
to institutions and individuals who require this information. For this
purpose, STD monitors solar and geophysical conditions in real-time and
provides e-mail (and other) distribution of numerous services.

Solar-Terrestrial Physics Home Page
(STP)
-
Solar-Terrestrial Physics Division of the National Geophysical Data Center home
page. Includes several various STP disciplines within the Center: geomagnetism, Iononosphere, Solar and Upper
Atmosphere, and two satellite programs: GOES and DMSP.
DMSP is a two satellite constellation of near-polar orbiting, sun-synchronous
satellites monitoring meteorological, oceanographic and solar-terrestrial physics environments. NGDC maintains
an archive of all data recorded on DMSP satellites as
relayed to NGDC by Air Force Global Weather Central. Data
from March 1992 to March 1994, are considered to be
experimental. After March 1994, the system should be fully operational.

Wilcox Solar Observatory
(WSO)
-
The Wilcox Solar Observatory began daily observations of the Sun's
global magnetic field in May 1975, with the goal of
understanding changes in the Sun and how those changes affect
the Earth; this is now called space weather. Now low-resolution
maps are also made of the Sun's magnetic field each
day, as are observations of solar surface motions. The observatory
is located in the foothills just west of the Stanford
University campus.

Zurich Solar Radio Spectrometer
-
The Radio Astronomy Group (RAG) of ETH
in Zurich, Switzerland, recorded solar radio spectrograms with an analog
spectrometer called Daedalus (1974-1993) in the range of 100-1000 MHz.
Its observation list can be accessed directly. Two digital
spectrometers, Ikarus (1978--1985) and PHOENIX (1988--1994), cover a
range from 100--1000 MHz and 0.1--3 GHz, respectively. And since
1998 the new and improved Phoenix-2 Spectrometer covers a
range from 0.1 -4 GHz. These data can be accessed
by the ASPECTimage retrieval system. Their observation list contains references
to frequency programs that indicate which frequencies were observed. More
information can be obtained from RAG members.
