AbstractThe soft x-ray spectra recorded in two sounding rocket flights in 1982 and 1985 are compared with with predicted spectra. The poster presents the processed densitometer trace of the full spectrum together with the new spectrum from the 1985 experiment. This note compares the intensities of the lines with predictions.

High quality X-ray spectral and imaging observations of the Cygnus Loop have been obtained with three different instruments. The High Resolution Imager (HRI) on the Einstein Observatory was used to obtain arcsecond resolution images of select bright regions in the Cygnus Loop which permit detailed comparisons between the X-ray, optical, and radio structure of the Loop. The Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) on the Einstein Observatory was used to obtain an arcminute resolution map of essentially the full Loop structure. Finally, an Imaging Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter (IGSPC), carried aloft by a sounding rocket last fall, obtained modest resolution, spatially resolved spectrophotometry of the Cygnus Loop. An X-ray map of the Loop in the energy of the 0 VIII line was obtained. These data combine to yield a very powerful probe of the abundance, temperature, and density distribution of material in the supernova remnant, and in the interstellar medium.

<p>We present results from a 2017 sounding rocket experiment in which two NASA sounding rockets were simultaneously launched into the auroral ionosphere. The rockets included comprehensive instrumentation to measure DC and AC electric fields, magnetic fields, energetic particles, plasma density, and neutral winds, among other parameters, and achieved apogees of 190 and 330 km. This unprecedented collection of in-situ measurements obtained at two altitudes over an auroral arc, along with conjugate ground-based measurements by the Poker Flat incoherent scatter radar and all-sky cameras, enable us to investigate the behavior of an aurora arc and its associated electrodynamics. A prominent feature of our observations is the presence of localized, large-amplitude Alfvén wave structures observed in both the electric field and magnetometers at altitudes as low as 190 km in the vicinity of up- and down-ward current regions. The observations are discussed in the context of ionospheric feedback instability. The results are compared to predictions of previously published numerical studies and other sounding rocket observations.</p>
