HUT Spectra Reprocessed With Final Pipeline Version, Time-Tagged Photon Lists And New VO-compliant FormatThe Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope was a shuttle-borne, UV spectrograph that flew on two missions in December 1990 and March 1995. A majority of observations were obtained in first spectral order, which covers 825-1850 Å at a resolution of 3 Å. Combined, the missions observed several hundred targets ranging from Solar System to stellar to extragalactic objects. These data have been available at MAST for many years, but now, Dixon et al. PASP, 2013 have reprocssed the HUT spectra with a final version of the data reduction pipeline. Several important changes with this new pipeline have been made that will increase the quality and utility of these spectra. These include:
Users may search and download data using our HUT Search Form, browse by object category through our HUT Catalog, or you can download the files through FTP. The HUT team has also made their suite of C-routines available for download, so users can generate new, custom versions of the FITS files, including/excluding additional photon events as they see fit. In the near future, these spectra will also be available through VO services. Return to the Table of Contents
