Question (質問)

I was wondering if I might ask for your help on a small research presentation I am planning. I am looking for a simple, single, diagram of the spectrum of magnitude of luminosity of the Sun covering the range ~1 Angstrom through to ~10 Angstroms. I have looked quite thoroughly, but such a simple data does not appear to have been compiled by my search. Could you possibly help, or suggest a source for this data, or graph? I do not need high accuracy data, qualitative data is adequate.

Answer (答え)

Although we are not an expert of Solar physics but on X-ray astrophysical objects like neutron stars, black holes, active galactic nuclei etc, we, the help-desk of Suzaku satellite, can handle this question as ID = 0103, which will appear in the following URL.

Did you check the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) site,
http://adswww.harvard.edu/index.html,
to search for papers on Solar physics?

Which spectra of Sun do you want to know, i.e., stable sun or active sun with solar flare(s)? In this energy band, Goes satellite should measure the spectra;

or you may ask helps to the help-desks of RHESS and/or Hinode satellite;
