Description
The 1-8A band of synodic full-disc solar X-rays (1-8A) W/m(2) were measured nearly continuously from 1975 to 1981 aboard the SMS-1, SMS-2, GOES-1, GOES-2, and GOES-3 satellites. The 1-8A band of X-rays are proportional to the emission measure at coronal heights at temperatures greater than 2,000,000 K. A practical method of describing solar 1-8A mean and background X-ray measurements in a continuous time series to describe long-term solar variability is discussed. Intercomparisons of the satellites using linear regression techniques and a useful background coronal index are described. Sources of error and statistical information on relative accuracy are discussed. Data are presented in monthly plots of hourly averages, in tables of daily mean and background indices, and in comparison to the Ottawa 10.7 cm radio flux.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A
