XUV results from Skylab

The extreme ultraviolet spectroheliograph of the Skylab-ATM experiment S082A recorded 1000 exposures during the mission, covering the wavelength range from 171 to 335 A or from 315 to 630 A. Each exposure recorded a spectrum of solar images with spatial resolution reaching 2 arc sec. Among the features observed were the chromospheric network, filaments, active regions, XUV bright points, the limb, spicules, prominences, coronal holes, and loops. During the mission, a number of flares were photographed; the images showed the changing form of a flare in different lines from the chromosphere to the corona as well as how this form changed during the course of the flare. The spectral images of a number of eruptive prominences were also recorded.
