The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite will conduct an all-sky survey in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) between 80 and 900 Å. The survey mission will be performed using three grazing incidence EUV telescopes equipped with microchannel plate (MCP) detectors. A fourth telescope will provide a deeper survey over a limited portion of the sky and contains three spectrometers for pointed EUV spectroscopic observations of selected objects. Thin film filters are used directly in front of the imaging MCP detectors to define four separate photometric bandpasses for the survey and act as order filters for the spectrometers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
