EUVE GUEST OBSERVER PROGRAM INITIATED
-------------------------------------
The EUVE Guest Observer Program has been successfully initiated and
is proceding smoothly. As of Feb 5 the following targets have been
observed for Guest Observers:
Mars
HD_33959C
HR_2047
PSR_0656+14
RE_1032+532
WD1254+223_1.00_315
WD1314+293_1.00_135
WD_1123+189_0.65_270

The following EUVE results were presented at recent EUVE
science team meetings:

FIRST EUVE IMAGE OF CYGNUS LOOP
-------------------------------
Dr Peter Vedder presented the first images of the Cygnus Loop
as observed by EUVE in the Lexan Filter. The images show
distinct emission in the areas of the loop visible in
ground based and X ray images. Dr Richard Lieu reported that
the Vela supernova remnant has also been detected in the
lexan filter.

7 EXTRAGALACTIC OBJECTS NOW DETECTED BY EUVE
--------------------------------------------
Dr Herman Marshall and Dr Antonella Fruscione reported
that a total of 7 extragalactic objects have now been
detected by EUVE. Additional possible extragalactic sources
are being analysed.

HR1099 LIGHT CURVE PRESENTED
----------------------------
Dr Jeremy Drake presented the EUV light curve for the RsCVn
system HR1099 as detected in the EUVE deep survey lexan
filter. The strong signal shows modulation at the
expected period.

EUVE BRIGHT SOURCE LIST AUGMENTED
---------------------------------
Dr Antonella Fruscione and Dr Bob Patterer announced that
another 50 bright sources have been added to the EUVE
Bright Source list, bringing the current total to 135.
Another ~200 are in final stages of verificationa and are
expected to be released shortly.

EUVE Archive Releases Lunar Spectra
----------------------------------
The first calibration spectra of the nearly full moon were observed
on December 10, 1992 in the short, medium, and long wavelength spectrometers
of EUVE. These spectra are being released to the public in
an extremely raw format. No corrections for background subtraction 
wavelength calibrations, or instrumental effects have been applied. 

The Archive has made available a list of approved GO
targets in the file gotargets.txt.  

Finally, the Archive has issued updates to several on-line documents. 
The file caltargets.tbl contains information on
EUVE calibration targets updated to February 1993. The EUVE_bibs
document contains bibliographies of several new EUVE publications.
The file Datarights.txt contains revised data rights information
for the all sky survey and EUVE spectrometer data.

Please read the revised help file in the Archive for detailed information
on data retrieval techniques.
If you have not used the EUVE public archive, you may obtain help by
sending e-mail to archive@cea.berkeley.edu with a message containing
the word "help" (omit quotes) on the first line of the main body of
the text (ie not in the subject field), with no preceding spaces. A
file containing information will be returned to you automatically.
Approved EUVE Guest Observers should work with the EUVE Guest
Observer Support group (egoinfo@cea.berkeley.edu) rather than through
the EUVE public archive for matters pertaining to their observations.
