Solar gamma rays and neutron observations
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4403578
The present status of knowledge concerning the impulsive and the continuous emission of solar gamma rays and neutrons is reviewed in ihe light of the recent solar activity in early August 1972. The gamma-ray spectrometer on OSO-7 has observed the Sun continuously for most of the activity period except for occultation by the Earth. In association with the 2B flare on August 4, 1972 and the 3B flare on August 7, 1972, the monitor provides evidence for solar gamma- ray line emission in ine energy range from 300 keV io 10 MeV. A summary of all the results available from preliminary analysis of the daia is given. Significant improvements in future experiments can be made with more sensitive instruments and more extensive time coverage of the Sun. (auth) (STAR)
