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.

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 ...

Highlights of Astronomy, 1968 Ultraviolet astronomy is in a phase of very rapid development and any review of the new techniques involved is necessarily conditioned by the fact that most of the work is in a preparatory stage. This paper, therefore, will not be restricted to a discussion of those techniques which have undergone the ultimate test of their effectiveness, i.e., an ...

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.
