Abstract: The objective of this project was to photograph the spectrum of
the bomb light of the three high-altitude nuclear detonations of
Operation Hardtack from two high-flying aircraft with a time resolution
of 50 seconds and a spectral resolution adequate to identify the
emission or absorption spectrum of molecular species that might be
formed around the fireball.

Abstract: The objective of this project was to improve the basic
understanding of the physics of high-altitude nuclear detonations by
measuring the thermal radiation from the high-altitude Shots Yucca,
Orange, and Teak. Spectral irradiances obtained by distant airborne
instrumentation are presented as a function of time in four wavelength
bands. The measurements are extrapolated to an assumed point source,
and these generalized results are discussed. Simple scaling laws are
not sufficient to predict the thermal radiation from a high-altitude
nuclear detonation. In particular, the power radiated in the infrared
exceeds by a large factor that expected from a black body of dimensions
comparable with the visible fireball. This implies the existence of
some mechanism that is producing a greater proportion of infrared
radiation than would be obtained using the equilibrium blackbody
theory.
