Abstract: The HUS-Ulysses team has prepared an instrument aboard the ULYSSES spacecraft consisting of 2 CsI detectors and 2 Si surface barrier detectors for measuring X-rays in the range 5–200 keV up to 8 ms resolution. The prime objectives are the study of solar flares and of cosmic gamma-ray bursts. The ULYSSES mission will leave the ecliptic during the next solar cycle. The solar data can be used in conjunction with other experiments to measure the directivity of the emission and for correlative studies. The cosmic gamma-ray burst data will improve source localizations, allowing sensitive searches for counterparts. The energy range and the 4π field of view is well suited to the detection of the soft gamma-ray repeaters.

Gamma-Ray Burst Localization with the International Solar Polar Mission
K. Hurley
- 01 Jan 1982
TL;DR: The European Space Agency's Solar Polar spacecraft is scheduled for launch in 1986 as mentioned in this paper, and a solar X-ray and cosmic gamma ray burst detector will be aboard. Although the solar polar mission will not provide the long baselines originally planned, due to the cancellation of the NASA spacecraft, it is shown that arrival time analysis between the remaining ESA spacecraft and other missions will nevertheless achieve extremely precise localizations.

Spatial Structure of High Energy Photon Sources in Solar Flares
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the predictions of thermal and non-thermal models of the hard X-ray source with the observed altitude structure of the photon source and its dependence on the photon energy and time during a solar flare.

Correlated observations of a spatially resolved type III solar radio burst group and the associated hard X-ray emission
S. R. Kane,M. Pick,A. Raoult +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first measurements of the spatial structure of a group of type III solar radio bursts associated with an impulsive hard X-ray burst are presented, which indicate that electron acceleration/injection occurs over a region which covers a wide range of magnetic field lines.
