ultraviolet astronomy

He is generally given credit for starting the field of extreme ultraviolet astronomy.

It carried two experimental Earth imaging instruments, and an ultraviolet astronomy payload.

It was equipped with eight telescopes for optical observation, and one for ultraviolet astronomy.

Ultraviolet astronomy has so far been dominated by satellites that collect spectra of stars and quasars.

Experiments were conducted in atmospheric chemistry, solar radiation, space plasma physics, and ultraviolet astronomy.

Ultraviolet astronomy, symbiotic stars; atomic physics.

Ultraviolet astronomy is generally used to refer to observations at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 100 and 3200 Å (10 to 320 nm).

So ultraviolet astronomy can be pursued only in space, with instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope and Galex.

This Spacelab mission featured the ASTRO-1 ultraviolet astronomy laboratory, a project on which Dr. Hoffman had worked since 1982.

Ultraviolet astronomy is best suited to the study of thermal radiation and spectral emission lines from hot blue stars (OB stars) that are very bright in this wave band.

By 1964, Carruthers began employment for the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. where his work focused on far ultraviolet astronomy.

Tucked in the shuttle's 60-foot-long payload bay is a 17,000-pound package of three telescopes and support equipment collectively called Astro-2, which is intended to investigate the invisible universe of ultraviolet astronomy.

On Voyager, too, teams formed around a variety of experiments - 11 in all, covering the general fields of radio science, ultraviolet astronomy, plasma-wave physics, infrared observation, imaging, cosmic rays, low-energy particles and magnetic fields.

LIDOS was an American ultraviolet astronomy mission, conducted using a Canadian Black Brant IX, serial number 36.243, launched from LC-36 at the White Sands Missile Range.

Ultraviolet astronomy is generally used to refer to observations of electromagnetic radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 10 and 320 nanometres; shorter wavelengths-higher energy photons-are studied by X-ray astronomy and gamma ray astronomy.

The non-deployable payload, equipped with 12 instruments from the United States, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, The Netherlands and Japan, conducted studies in atmospheric chemistry, solar radiation, space plasma physics and ultraviolet astronomy.

The first recorded spaceflight launch of the year occurred on 11 January, when a Black Brant was launched on a suborbital trajectory from White Sands, with the LIDOS ultraviolet astronomy payload.

Shuttle orbiters also released and retrieved free-flying research spacecraft, including an ultraviolet astronomy platform called Orfeus-Spas in 1993 and 1996, and the Long Duration Exposure Facility, a large container carrying 57 experiments deployed in 1984, which spent more than a year in space.

On 20 October at 08:39 UTC, a Black Brant IX was launched from LC-36 at the White Sands Missile Range, to conduct an ultraviolet astronomy mission for NASA and the US Navy Research Laboratory.
