3. Ultraviolet Astronomy [PDF]
Transactions of the International Astronomical Union, 1985 During 1982-1984, progress in ultraviolet astronomy continued through extensive observations with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), continuing programs of sounding rocket and balloon flights, and through observations made from other orbital spacecraft, including the Space Shuttle and ASTRON.

Does ultraviolet astronomy have a future [PDF]
Astronomy and Geophysics, 2004 Recent news of the cancellation of further servicing missions for HST and the recent failure of its prime UV spectrograph has brought into focus the limited future for UV astronomy, without rapid action. If this situation does not change, the routine access to the far-UV that we have enjoyed for more than 25 years, since the launch of IUE, will end by ...

Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Astronomy with Orfeus [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1990 AbstractORFEUS (Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer) is a 1 m normal incidence telescope for spectroscopic investigations of cosmic sources in the far and extreme ultraviolet spectral range. The instrument will be integrated into the freeflyer platform ASTRO-SPAS.

Massive Neutrinos and Ultraviolet Astronomy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983 Massive neutrinos (or photinos) dominating galactic halos may decay into less massive particles by emitting ultraviolet photons. The lifetime for this process can be calculated from particle physics in a model-dependent way. The observed ultraviolet background constrains this lifetime to exceed about 1024 seconds.

THE RISE OF ULTRAVIOLET ASTRONOMY IN FRANCE [PDF]
Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage, 2021 France was one of the few countries able to launch rockets soon after the end of WWII. Some of these rockets were used to observe the Sun and other astronomical targets in the ultraviolet in the early 1960s. This program continued with the placement of French UV cameras and spectrographs in the French satellite D2B-Aura (1975), in two Soviet satellites

Challenges on Ultraviolet Astronomy 2014 [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2014 We are pleased to present this Special Issue of Astrophysics & Space Science; “Challenges on Ultraviolet Astronomy 2014”. This volume comes at a crucial time in Ultraviolet (UV) astronomy. The NASA/ESA programmes that created the community are reaching completion and future missions, apart from the World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet (WSOUV), are small-

An Ultraviolet Spectrophotometer for Satellite Astronomy [PDF]
Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 1964 An astronomical Spectrophotometer is described which was designed for use on OSOB, the second U.S. Orbiting Solar Observatory. The Spectrophotometer is intended to analyze the ultraviolet emission from stars and nebulae. The entrance slit of the Spectrophotometer defines the field at the primary focus of a 6-inch modified Gregorian reflecting ...

Ultraviolet astronomy with small space telescopes [PDF]
, 2017 After describing the present situation with astronomy in the ultraviolet (UV), reviewing a few past and proposed future missions, we present options to develop space missions that have been realized for modest costs. In this context, we bring together a few aspects of different missions and projects that, when combined, might result in a low-cost ...
