GALLEX

The GALLEX experiment was performed by an international collaboration headed by MPIK Heidelberg. GALLEX measured the solar neutrino flux produced inside the Sun by proton-proton fusion. As target for neutrino capture, a large amount (30 tons) of the rare element Gallium in form of an aqueous solution of Galliumtrichloride was used. To protect the detector from the interfering cosmic radiation one must go deep underground. Hence the experiment was carried out under the shielding of Italy's highest mountain outside the Alps, the Gran Sasso d'Italia in the Abruzzo region.

Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX)

The MSX observatory is a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization project which offers major benefits for both the defense and civilian sectors. It was launched on a Delta II vehicle on April 24, 1996, into a 900 km, polar, near-Sun synchronous orbit. The spacecraft featured an advanced multispectral image capability to gather data on test targets and space background phenomena.
The infrared sensors operated at 11 to 12 degrees Kelvin by employing a solid hydrogen cryostat. The IR instruments span the range 4.2 - 26 microns. The focal plane array consists of five bands and the radiometer beam-size is more than 25 times smaller than IRAS. As a result, much greater spatial resolution than anything currently available has been obtained. The cryogen phase of the mission ended on 26 February 1997. During the ten month cryogen phase of the mission over 200 Giga Bytes of data on Celestial Backgrounds were obtained.
See the MSX Celestial Backgrounds Team Home Page for additional details.

Phase-diverse speckle reconstruction of solar data (PDS)

Award-winning paper: " Phase-diverse speckle reconstruction of solar data," by John H. Seldin and Richard G. Paxman, Environmental Research Institute of Michigan. --ABSTRACT-- Phase-diverse speckle imaging is a novel imaging modality that makes use of both speckle-imaging and phase-diversity concepts. A phase-diverse speckle data set consists of one conventional image and at least one additional image with known phase diversity for each of multiple atmospheric phase realizations. We demonstrate the use of a phase-diverse speckle data set collected at the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope on La Palma to overcome the effects of atmospheric turbulence and to restore a fine-resolution image of solar granulation. We present preliminary results of simultaneously reconstructing an object and a sequence of atmospheric phase aberrations from these data using a maximum-likelihood parameter-estimation framework. The consistency of the reconstructions is demonstrated using subsets of the sequence of images pairs.
