Title:: Berkeley Extreme and Far-UV Spectrometer
Short Name:: BEFS

Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: 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.

Title:: Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Merged Spectra
Short Name:: EUVE
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:49:27
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: 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.

Title:: Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer
Short Name:: FUSE
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:53:56
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: 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.

Title:: Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope
Short Name:: HUT
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:48:21
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: 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.

Title:: International Ultraviolet Explorer
Short Name:: IUE
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:56:49
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: 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.

Title:: Tubingen Echelle Spectra
Short Name:: TUES
Date:: 22 Jul 2020 21:57:14
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: 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.

Title:: Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT)
Short Name:: UIT
Date:: 23 Jul 2020 19:44:25
Publisher:: Space Telescope Science Institute Archive
Description:: The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope UIT was one of three ultraviolet telescopes on the ASTRO-1 mission flown on the space shuttle Columbia during 2-10 December 1990. The same three instruments were later flown on the space shuttle Endeavour from 3-17 March 1995, as part of the ASTRO-2 mission. Exposures were obtained on 70-mm photographic film in the 1200-3300 Å range using broadband filters and later digitized using a Perkin-Elmer microdensitometer. Image resolution was 3" over a 40' field of view. Overall, UIT-1 obtained 821 exposures of 66 targets, and UIT-2 obtained 758 images of 193 targets.
