New Delhi. ISRO’s spacecraft Aditya-L1, which set out to know the secrets of the Sun, has achieved its first major success. It has extracted the first high-energy X-ray of solar rays. This feat has been accomplished by HEL1OS attached on Aditya L1. ISRO has given latest information in this regard on Tuesday. It is reported that the spectrometer on Aditya-L1 has recorded the impulsive phase of the solar flare during its first observation period from October 29.Aditya
Solar flare is a sudden brightening of the atmosphere here. These flares produce a spectrum of all wavelengths in radio, optical, UV, soft X-ray, hard X-ray and gamma-ray. The HEL 1 OS X-ray spectrometer, launched on October 27, 2023, is currently undergoing improvements to threshold and calibration operations. Since then it has been monitoring the Sun for hard X-ray activity. ISRO wrote on X’s timeline that the instrument is set to monitor the Sun’s high-energy X-ray activity with fast timing and high-resolution spectra.
