The Berkeley Extreme and Far-UV Spectrometer (BEFS), flew on the
Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (ORFEUS)-SPAS I
and II space shuttle missions in 1993 and 1996, returning high-resolution (/3000)
FUV spectra (900-1200 Å) of 75 astrophysical objects from the first flight and more
than 100 from the second. EUV spectra (400-900 Å) were obtained for a subset of these
targets.
The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) was a NASA-funded satellite
launched in June 1992 which obtained extreme ultraviolet spectra (70 - 760 Angstroms)
of over 350 unique astronomical targets. The science payload, was designed and built
at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, under
the direction of Dr. Roger F. Malina. The program ended in January, 2001. These
particular spectra were extracted by Damian Christian, formerly of the EUVE project,
and reformatted by MAST staff.
The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), launched on June 24, 1999, covers the 905-1187 Å spectral region and obtains high resolution spectra of hot and cool stars, AGNs, supernova remnants, planetary nebulae, solar system objects as well as perform detailed studies of the interstellar medium. This service provides access to the FUSE spectra reprocessed using CalFUSE 3.2 and reformatted to be VO-compatible.
The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was one of three ultraviolet
instruments of the ASTRO-1 mission flown on the space shuttle Columbia
during 2-10 December 1990. 106 spectrophotometric observations of 77
targets were obtained in the far-UV (i.e., 912-1850 Ã…) at a resolution
of ~3 Ã…. A few sources were observed in the 415-912 Ã… region with a
1.5 Ã… resolution. The same three instruments were later flown on the
space shuttle Endeavour from 3-17 March 1995 as part of the ASTRO-2
mission. During the longer ASTRO-2 mission, 385 observations of 265
targets were obtained.
MAST-produced spectral container files for STIS spectra. STIS
spectra range from 1150 to 10,300 at low to medium spectral resolution, high
spatial resolution echelle spectroscopy in the ultraviolet. STIS began
operation in 1997. (Note the included echelle spectra are technically not
yet supported by the SSAP.)

Description:
Spectra from the HST GHRS instrument (processed by ESO and CADC)
in the 1,100 - 3,300 Å range, resolution ~ 2,000, 25,000, and 80,000 (echelle),
V_max ~ 18, 16, and 12 respectively, 1990 - 1997. Links point to VO-compatible FITS
files created by MAST staff.
Spectra from the following HST instruments are available: GHRS (processed by CADC), FOS (processed by ECF), and STIS (1st order). Separate SSAP services are registered for each instrument.
VO-compatible FITS files were created by MAST staff.
The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) performed spectrophotometry at high (0.1-0.3 Å) and low (6-7 Å) resolution between 1150 Å and 3200 Å. This service currently provides access to the low dispersion "NEWSIPS" data, reformatted to be VO-compatible.
The Tübingen Echelle Spectrograph (TUES), designed and managed at the University of Tübingen, flew on the Orbiting and Retrievable Far and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (ORFEUS)-SPAS II space shuttle mission in 1996, returning spectra in the 900 Å to 1400 Å wavelength range. The instrument was designed to achieve a spectral resolution of /=10000 when used with an entrance aperture of 10" diameter. During the 17.7 day flight, TUES returned 239 spectra of 62 targets. Note each file contains one echelle order.
