The scientific objectives, technical feasibility, and engineering implementation of the Lyman high-orbit UV space observatory are discussed. The Lyman observatory is designed to study the waveband between 900 and 1250 A. The objectives of the mission include stellar research, the study of stellar evolution, planetary nebulae, the study of binaries…

Ultraviolet observations of SN 1987A.

Panagia, N.

Results are presented from IUE observations of SN 1987A. The general UV spectral evolution of the supernova is described. The UV and optical photometric data for SN 1987A are examined, focusing on the importance of the data for supernova energetics. It is concluded that SN 1987A is a normal Type II explosion with an unusually compact initial confi…
