Subsections 1.2 through 1.10 of this catalog summarize the operational highlights of the individual experiments, present preliminary experiment results, and call attention to known data anamolies. Section 2 lists the on-off times for each experiment and provides a method for determining the geographical coverage of each experiment. Section 3 shows selected HIRS, SCAMS and ESMR images, and Section 4 presents THIR montages. Section 5 presents corrections to The Nimbus 6 User's Guide.
A catalog containing the basic optical information on all QSOs which have been certainly identified, meaning that redshifts have been measured (complete to August 1976), is given. Included are the coordinate designations, other names, equatorial coordinates, visual magnitudes, (U-B) and (B-V) colors, emission-line redshifts, emission lines detected in the optical spectrum, absorption-line redshifts, and references for finding charts, absorption- and emission-line redshifts, and photometry and polarimetry for 633 QSOs and four BL Lacertae objects. Cross-reference tables are provided for finding coordinate designations of objects known by noncoordinate names.
Spectra between 1000 and 1450 A for 60 O- and B-type stars observed by Copernicus at 0.2-A resolution are presented in three forms: tables containing the numerical data, plots showing renormalized spectra, and synthetic photographic spectra. The data have been corrected for all instrument effects of importance for the photometric accuracy except fluctuations in continuum level caused by small variations in spacecraft guidance. Spectrometer sensitivity curves are provided for use in converting to absolute fluxes. It is expected that this catalog will be of use for research on many aspects of stellar UV spectra, including spectral classification, line identification, abundance determinations, spectrum synthesis, model atmosphere calculations, flux distributions, bolometric corrections, stellar winds, and mass loss.
Satellite operations from launch through 14 July (orbit 425) consisted of engineering evaluation of all spacecraft systems. As a result of that effort, data reception, accountability and processing were intermittent during that period. During orbit 4905 (12 June), Nimbus 6 successfully completed one year operations. A summary of the documentation for each Nimbus 6 Data Catalog volume is presented. The pitch of the Nimbus 6 satellite has been made to alternate between +2.0 degrees, +0.6 degrees, and 0.0 degrees since launch. A positive pitch angle of 0.6 degrees moves the nadir-looking position 11.5 kilometers ahead of the subsatellite point. A positive pitch angle of 2.0 degrees moves the nadir-looking position 38.3 kilometers ahead of the subsatellite point. At these pitch angles, a scanner-type instrument no longer scans the earth along a great circle arc through the subpoint, but scans along the small circle formed by the intersection of the scan plane with the earth. Since the plane of the small circle is tilted with respect to the nominal scan plane, points on the arc are displaced farther from the great circle as the scan angle increases. As noted above, a pitch angle of 0.6 degrees causes a displacement of 11.5 kilometers at nadir, but when the scanner turns 45 degrees away from nadir the displacement increases slightly to 12.8 kilometers. Similarly, for a 2.0 degree pitch the displacement is 38.3 kilometers at nadir and increases to 42.6 kilometers at a 45 degree scan angle. Thus, although the instrument records in lines normal to the orbit plane (in the absence of yaw) the perpendicular displacement from the perfect-attitude scan line is not uniform across the scan line.
