On the Astron UV Space Mission Data

Abstract: Abstract. The Soviet UV space mission Astron, launched in 1983, had been operational for eight years as the largest ultraviolet space telescope during its lifetime. Astron provided a lot of observational material for various types of astrophysical objects, but unfortunately these data were not widely available and, as a result, unduly forgotten. Here we present some results of our comparison of the Astron data to the modern UV stellar data, such as the NGSL spectral library, discuss the precision and accuracy … Show more

“…Some data are absolute, others are relative; data can be given per unit wavelength interval or per unit frequency interval; some authors give intensities while others give magnitudes, etc. Second, all empirical atlases are burdened with systematic errors, leading to large differences in the Balmer jump height and SED's slope, especially in the UV region (see Kilpio et al 2012 for details). To identify these systematic differences, it is advisable to use synthetic photometry, combining SEDs with response curves of different photometric systems, and to compare synthetic magnitudes and color indices to the observed ones.…”
