Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2000 ▪ Abstract Astronomical studies in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) band of the spectrum were dismissed during the early years of space astronomy as impossible, primarily because of the mistaken view that radiation in this band would be absorbed by the interstellar medium.

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-

, 2003 This text describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength range, from the first rocket-based experiments in the late 1960s through to later satellite missions. Discussions of the results from important space projects are followed by an analysis of the contributions made by EUV astronomy to the study of specific groups

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 ...
