Studying the diffuse ultraviolet background radiation with tomography
نویسنده
چکیده
Observation of faint diffuse ultraviolet background radiation is a delicate undertaking, given the brightness of the ultraviolet stars against which discrimination is essential. I demonstrate that the technique of tomography is unsuited to this particular task.

The 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 کاملProgress in understanding the di use UV cosmic background
I report on progress in my ongoing work with Professor Jayant Murthy concerning the origin and nature of the diffuse ultraviolet background radiation over the sky. We have obtained and are reducing a vast trove of Voyager ultraviolet spectrometer observations of the diffuse background shortward of Lα, including for the first time measurements made from the outermost regions of the solar system,...
متن کاملInvestigation of the production of free radicals in ultraviolet irradiation using SnO2:Eu nanoparticles
In studying the ultraviolet (UV) radiation, one of the important factors is the possibility of generating a variety of free radicals inside the body by these radiations. In this paper, a method of estimating the amount of hydroxyl radicals produced by ultraviolet rays was investigated using nanoparticles of tin oxide doped with uropium. In this method, the change in absorption intensity of meth...
متن کاملIntense Diffuse Far-ultraviolet Emission from the Orion Nebula
We present spectra of the diffuse far-UV (900–1200 ) emission from a region near the Orion Nebula: the Å first high-resolution spectra of the diffuse background radiation. These observations were made using serendipitous Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations and were only possible because of the strength of the diffuse emission (≈ photons cm 2 sr 1 s 1 ) and the sensitivity...
متن کاملThe Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation Mission
The Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation (or the Far-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph) instruments, flown aboard the STSAT-1 satellite mission, have provided the first largearea spectral mapping of the cosmic far ultraviolet (FUV, λ 900-1750) background. We observe diffuse radiation from hot (10 – 10 K) and ionized plasmas, molecular hydrogen, and dust scattered starlig...
