The COS-B X-ray observations of X-ray binaries
van der Klis, M.
The observational information on X-ray binaries that was collected with the 80 cm2 auxiliary X-ray detector onboard the COS-B gamma-ray satellite is reviewed. The results illustrate that in the study of X-ray binaries observations of long duration are extremely effective, even when using a small instrument.
Aspects of data flow for an Edison-type observatory
Penny, Alan
The design of the flow of data for an Edison-type space mission, involving a large diameter telescope for use in the near-infrared and having a mission lifetime of 10-20 yrs, is discussed. Relevant lessons on data flow that can be learned from the IUE, HST, ground-based observatories, IRAS, and SOHO are briefly considered. Future design developmen…
