Scientific paper

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 microsec. An onboard 16-pulse height analyzer allows for fine X-ray spectral studies using the onboard 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.
