Ultraviolet astronomy enters the eighties
Physics Today, 1980Ultraviolet astronomy, once the province of instrumentalists, has become an accessible and necessary technique for all astronomers. In the first three years after the 1972 launch of the Copernicus satellite about 100 astronomers used its ultraviolet-spectrometer data, outnumbering by a factor of ten the core group of Princeton University scientists who

▪ 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.

Ultraviolet Astronomy: Observational Aspects
1967The several disciplines which are incorporated under the heading ‘space research’ can be placed into the two broad categories of geophysics and astronomy. No hard and fast demarcation can be drawn and a considerable region of overlap exists, including, for example, the moon and planets.

3A. Ultraviolet Astronomy (Non-IUE)
Transactions of the International Astronomical Union, 1988Results from the IUE satellite, summarized in the section which follows this one, continue to dominate the literature for research topics which rely on observations in the ultraviolet. This trend may be accentuated in the near future, as we experience the natural attrition of papers based on results from previous major missions which are no longer ...

Ultraviolet, optical and infrared astronomy
Physics Today, 1982While it is possible to trace the history of ultraviolet, optical and infrared astronomy to an era before that of the pre-Christian Greek astronomers at Alexandria, the field is not as static as this maturity might suggest. The flowering of space astronomy and the orders-of-magnitude improvement in detector technology give us exploratory capabilities ...

Astronomy and the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite
Science, 1994The extreme ultraviolet wave band (100 to 912 angstroms) was thought until recently to be useless to astronomy, primarily because the opacity of the interstellar medium would prevent observations at these wavelengths. However, the interstellar medium has been found to be markedly inhomogeneous in both density and ionization state and the sun is ...

Anamorphic integral field spectrometer for diffuse ultraviolet astronomy
Applied Optics, 2013We present the design of a novel anamorphic integral field spectrometer for diffuse ultraviolet astronomy. The system is designed to be able to measure emissions from faint diffuse astrophysical sources across a large field with good spectral resolving power.
