We have analyzed the far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectra of six elliptical and S0 galaxies in order to characterize the stellar population that produces the ultraviolet flux in these galaxies. The spectra were obtained using the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) during the Astro-2 mission aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in March 1995, and cover the spectral range from 820 to 1840 Å with a resolu...

The variation characteristics of Ultraviolet-B (UVB; 280-315 nm) radiation over Beijing were explored using measured data that were collected in Beijing from November 2010 to October 2011. Seasonal variations in UVB radiation and influence of ozone and clearness index on the ratio of UVB to broadband solar radiation (G) were investigated. The annual value of UVB radiation in Beijing is 6.37 MJ ...

The isoniazid, after recrystallization from ethanol and drying over calcium chloride and then over phosphorus pentoxide, had m.p. 1700. Potentiometric titration with alkali (0.1 N-KOH), making use of the pK 10-8 (Albert, 1953) and ultraviolet spectrophotometry (at 262 m,u.), indicated a purity of 99.84%. This material was used to evaluate the published methods of iodometric titration. That cond...

We present the first results from a study designed to test whether, given high-quality spectrophotometry spanning the mid-ultraviolet–optical wavelength regime, it is possible to distinguish the metal content and star-formation history of individual elliptical galaxies with sufficient accuracy to establish whether their formation history is linked to their detailed morphology and position on th...
