Solar Maximum Mission experiment - Early results from the soft X-ray polychromator experimentIt is pointed out that the X-ray polychromator experiment has been in operation on the Solar Maximum Mission satellite for more than three months. Using a number of different modes, the polychromator is observing flares and active regions in the wavelength range 1-23 A. These modes include polychromatic imaging, high resolution line profiles, high dispersion spectra, and light curves with high time-resolution. Data are described and some of the early analysis and interpretation is presented. All the interpretations are based on simple approximate methods; it is noted, however, that in most cases more elaborate and reliable methods are close to being applied.
