DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The NASA-funded astronomy mission, Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), operated in the region of the extreme ultraviolet bandpass. The mission took place from June 7, 1992 until January 31, 2001. The payload consisted of three grazing-incidence scanning telescopes and an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrometer. Part of the project included mapping the EUV sky and the other with carrying out an all-band survey in the extreme ultraviolet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) will map the entire sky to determine the existence, direction, brightness, and temperature of thousands of objects that are sources of so-called extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. The EUV spectral region is located between the x-ray and ultraviolet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. From the sky survey by EUVE, astronomers will determine the nature of sources of EUV light in our galaxy, and infer the distribution of interstellar gas for hundreds of light years around the solar system. It is from this gas and the accompanying dust in space that new stars and solar systems are born and to which evolving and dying stars return much of their material in an endless cosmic cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Besides surveying the sky, astronomers will make detailed studies of selected objects with EUVE to determine their physical properties and chemical compositions. Also, they will learn about the conditions that prevail and the processes at work in stars, planets, and other sources of EUV radiation, maybe even quasars. The EUVE mission and instruments are described. The objects that EUVE will likely find are described. Maran, Stephen P. Goddard Space Flight Center ...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) maintains an archive of data from the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). The EUVE is an artificial satellite that was launched to conduct an extreme ultraviolet survey of the sky. This archive is part of the larger Multimission Archive at STScI (MAST) database that supports a variety of astronomical data archives.
