| Popis: | Detailed data on temporal profiles, energy spectra, and spectral variability of hard X-ray and gamma-ray flares of solar origin have been obtained in the energy range from 10 keV to 10 MeV in the Helicon experiment for the entire period of observations, beginning with the solar activity maximum in 2001. Synchronously with the KONUS–WIND experiment onboard the U.S. Wind spacecraft, the Helicon experiment has also investigated cosmic gamma-ray bursts and soft gamma repeaters. The Helicon instrument performed unique observations of the giant flare from SGR1806-20 soft gamma repeater and of its reflection from the Moon. The intensity, history, and energy of the initial pulse of the giant flare from the gamma repeater are reconstructed for the first time with high reliability. A natural location of the Moon by a high-intensity flux of X-ray and gamma radiation has been recorded for the first time in the history of the extraterrestrial astronomy. |
