Abstract:
Results of the statistical study of gamma ray fluxes in the energy channels
0.12-0.32, 3.0-8.3 MeV, measured by the instrument SONG on board the low
altitude high inclination satellite CORONAS-I, are presented. The geographic
maps based on sets of data in March - June 1994 are constructed and the
latitudinal distribution (i.e. the variation of average fluxes with vertical
cut-off rigidity) for higher energies is given. The irregular spatial
structures of gamma ray flux increases in the subauroral zone and at lower
latitudes are discussed.
