Starbursts in the Far - Ultraviolet
Starbursts are a significant component of the present-day universe, and offer unique laboratories for studying the processes that have regulated the formation and evolution of galaxies and the intergalactic medium. The combination of large aperture size, medium-to-high spectral resolution, and access to the feature-rich far-ultraviolet band make FUSE a uniquely valuable tool for studying starbu...
متن کاملPhotochemistry in the Far Ultraviolet
Although a few surveys of vacuum ultraviolet photochemistry of a limited scope have appeared in recent years (1-5), the excellent review by McNesby & Okabe (6) which appeared in 1964 is the most recent comprehensive survey of the far (or vacuum) uv photochemistry of inorganic and organic substances. The progress made since then is obviously too vast to be covered in its entirety in the limited ...
متن کاملFar Ultraviolet Detector Standards
National Bureau of Standards Gaithersburg, MD 20899 A description is given of the NBS program in which special photodiodes for the far ultraviolet spectral region (5254 nm) are made available as transfer standards. These detectors are calibrated in terms of quantum efficiency (photoelectrons per incident photon) as a function of wavelength. Descriptions are also given of the calibration princip...
متن کاملThe Diffuse Ultraviolet Background Radiation
I review the nature of the diffuse cosmic ultraviolet background radiation. The ultraviolet background is the last frontier: all the other diffuse backgrounds have been examined, at least at some level. The ultraviolet background has only begun to be explored; it offers rich promise of new astrophysical knowledge.
متن کاملThe Far-Ultraviolet Radiation from Elliptical Galaxies
Since the discovery of the Ultraviolet Upturn Phenomenon (“UVX”) in early-type galaxies it has been clear that the stellar populations of such systems contain an unexpected hot component. Recent work has provided strong circumstantial evidence that the stars radiating at short wavelengths (λ < 2000 Å) is in fact due to hot horizontal branch, post-HB stars and post-AGB stars. We summarize the ar...
