Description

The MIT SAS-C X-Ray Observatory is a highly flexible facility for the comprehensive study of the x-ray sky over the 0.1 to 50 keV energy range. Event time may be determined to 0.125 ms. An on-board 16 pulse height analyzer allows for fine x-ray spectral studies using the on-board star trackers and rotating modulation collimator. Both risetime and geometric anticoincidence circuits are employed and a programmable data format generator allows great flexibility in choice of data sources and source sampling rate for special studies.
