PERIODIC FLARE (?)
This little flare was observed during the SERTS rocket
flight in the SERTS target region. SERTS launch was
at 15-May_95 at 18:00 UT.
The light curve is from AlMg. It is from a 7x10 area
to collect all the signal from saturation on the
brightest peak. I see 5 distinct peaks in the light
curve and they look to be separated by about 5, 7, 8
and 7 minutes.
The power spectrum of these data gives the strongest peak
at 500 seconds.
Pretty interesting!
