Spectrum-X Gamma (SXG) is a world-class, orbiting astronomical observatory, with capabilities for all-sky monitoring, polarimetry, and high resolution spectroscopy, and wavelength coverage extending from the ultraviolet (TAUVEX and FUVITA), through the x-ray (SODART and JET-X), to the hard x-ray (MART), and gamma-ray (SPIN) regimes. SXG is a multi-national mission developed under the sponsorship of the Russian Academy of Sciences, with participation from several European countries and the U.S. The U.S. involvement in SXG includes both instrumentation and data rights. The U.S. Spectrum X Gamma Coordination Facility (SXGCF) supports U.S. observers in proposing for SXG SODART observations, analyzing SXG data, and conducting archival research. The SXGCF also has the responsibility for organizing the U.S. archive of SXG data, which will eventually include approximately half of the data from most SXG instruments. This report summarizes the activities of the SXGCF scientific and technical staff during the period from Feb. 1 through July 31, 1999.
