Research in extreme ultraviolet and far ultraviolet astronomy [PDF]
, 1985 Instruments designed to explore different aspects of far and extreme ultraviolet cosmic radiation were studied. The far ultraviolet imager (FUVI) was flown on the Aries sounding rocket. Its unique large format 75mm detector mapped out the far ultraviolet

The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Future of Ultraviolet Astronomy [PDF]
, 2009 I describe the capabilities of the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, scheduled for May 2009 installation on the Hubble Space Telescope. With a factor-of-ten increase in far-UV throughput for moderate resolution spectroscopy, COS will enable a range of ...

A Swift Response to Newly Discovered, Nearby Transients
Universe, 2023 The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has proven to be an extraordinary supernova (SN) observatory. The clearest application of Swift’s unique strengths is obtaining very early UV and X-ray data of young SNe, which enables robust constraints on their ...
