Scientific paper

We describe the RF15-I instrument, comprising a solar photometer and an imager, designed for multi-band high-time resolution measurements of integral solar fluxes in the energy range between 2 keV and 240 keV as well as for imaging of solar flares in the 2-8 keV energy range. The instrument was launched in August 1995 aboard the INTERBALL-Tail spacecraft. Description of the construction and operations is presented. The overall performance and the high sensitivity of the photometer are shown in examples. The X-ray tomograph-imager contains a unique rotationally modulated collimator. It provides sets of one-dimensional scans of flares taken at varying angles due to spinning of the satellite. We present principles of the algorithm for imaging from these data and show example of reconstructed flare image taken in the 2-4 keV range.
