- EUVE DETECTS 100th EUV SOURCE
- -----------------------------
- Dr Antonella Fruscione has released a new version of the
- internal EUVE Bright Source List covering the first 31 days
- of the sky survey. In addition to the 24 sources detected
- in the IOC and calibration, there are 76 sources detected
- by the automatic detection software and verified visually
- as "definite" sources. The breakdown of the 76 sources is
- as follows:
- 17 Late type stars
- 10 WD
- 3 CV
- 1 Pn
- 1 Misc. (star with no spectral type, probably a WD)
- 18 B stars.
- 44 sources with no optical counterpart as yet
- ( note the 3 AGN were detected by detailed
- analysis not by the automatic detection software)
- ( over 100 other possible sources from the first 31
- days are being analysed further)
-
- The breakdown by filter for the 76 sources is:
- 2 stars (WD) were detected in all 4 filters
- 7 stars were detected in Lex/B and Al/C
- 41 stars were detected in Lex/B only
- 15 stars were detected in Al/C only
- 4 stars were detected in Dag only
- 7 stars were detected in Tin only
- ( Lexan is "100A", Al is "200 A", Dagwood is "400A", tin is "600 A".)

- EUVE GO PROGRAM TO START ON SCHEDULE
- -------------------------------------
-
- THE EUVE GO Phase will begin on schedule Jan 32, 1993. The
- baseline GO plan for the first year was submitted to GSFC
- on Dec 18 for detailed TDRSS scheduling. NASA HQ has notified
- successful proposers of approved GO programs. If you are
- uncertain of the status of your GO proposal, contact
- Dr Yoji Kondo ( address below). The GO Support Group at
- CEA has sent questionnairs to all Category I approved GOs
- for verification of their target information. We apologise
- for the error in some GO target data intoduced here at CEA.
- (It wont happen again). If approved GOs havent received their
- questionnaire, please send email to egoinfo@cea.berkeley.edu
- If you havent replied to your questionnaire yet, please
- do so as soon as possible. NOTE: IT is NOT possible to
- send approved GOs the raw data on the calibration data on
- their approved targets at this time. The only calibration
- data that has been released is available on the EUVE public
- archive. NASA has established an equity principle that
- all GOs must be treated equally in terms of access to
- data and analysis software. It is NOT possible for
- GO co-Is located on the EUVE project at UCB to obtain early
- access to calibration data that is not availble to outside
- PIs and Co-Is.....

- COME TO THE EUVE PAPERS AT AAS
- -----------------------------
-
- The EUVE early results will be presented at an oral session
- monday morning January 3 10 am (session 23 Cortex room) at
- the AAS meeting in Phoeniz, AZ, USA. This will be followed
- by a dedicated EUVE poster session on Wednesday Jan 6
- (session 80, Pavilion room). All interested EUVE GOs
- are invited to come meet the EUV GO Support staff and
- to review the early EUVE sky survey results as they pertain
- to their GO observations.
