1.1 Recent EUVE Science Highlights
----------------------------------
by Dr. Pierre Chayer, EUVE/CEA Scientist
Discovery of Warm Gas in the Center
of the Virgo Cluster with EUVE
Drs. Richard Lieu, Jonathan Mittaz, Stuart Bowyer, Felix
Lockman, Chorng-Yuan Hwang, and Jurgen Schmitt performed an
observation of the central region of the Virgo Cluster with the
EUVE deep survey telescope. A point source and and extended
emission halo were clearly detected. It is the first detection of
cluster gas emission in the EUV. Dr. Lieu and his collaborators
show that the emission cannot be interpreted by the cluster gas at
X-ray temperatures and propose a second gas component with
temperature between 5E+5 and 1E+6 K.
1.2 IAU Circular Regarding EUVE J2115-58.6
------------------------------------------
Excerpted from IAU Circular No. 6297, 29 Jan 1996
N. Craig, University of California at Berkeley, reports: "An
optical counterpart for EUVE J2115-58.6 has been identified as a
magnetic CV, probably an AM Her-type cataclysmic variable. The field,
centered at R.A. = 21h15m41s, Decl. = -58d40'48" (equinox 2000.0), was
observed as part of the EUVE Optical ID Campaign on 1995 Dec. 10.063 UT
with the 1.5-m telescope (Loral) at Cerro Tololo. The proposed optical
counterpart, at R.A. = 21h15m41s, Decl. = -58d40'54", well within the
source error circle, is a star of estimated mv = 16.0. The optical
spectrum clearly shows the characteristics of a cataclysmic-variable
spectrum, with the typical Balmer emission lines, as well as
lines of He I, Ca II and strong He II emission. The continuum increases
sharply toward the blue at short wavelengths. The CV EUVE J2115-58.6
was detected during the all-sky survey in the EUVE Lexan/B band
(5.8-17.4 nm, 0.07-0.21 keV) on 1992 Oct. 20, and also during the
gap-filling on 1993 Apr. 19. A countrate of 0.05 cts/s is calculated.
Monitoring photometric and spectroscopic observations are urged."

QUASI-COHERENT OSCILLATIONS IN THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET FLUX OF THE
DWARF NOVA SS CYGNI
Christopher W. Mauche
To appear in Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Quasi-coherent oscillations have been detected in the extreme
ultraviolet flux of the dwarf nova SS Cygni during observations with
the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite of the rise and plateau
phases of an anomalous outburst in 1993 August and a normal outburst
in 1994 June/July. On both occasions, the oscillation turned on during
the rise to outburst and persisted throughout the observation. During
the 1993 outburst, the period of the oscillation fell from 9.3 s to
7.5 s over an interval of 4.4 days; during the 1994 outburst, the
period fell from 8.9 s to 7.19 s (the shortest period ever observed in
SS Cyg, or any other dwarf nova) within less than a day, and then rose
to 8.0 s over an interval of 8.0 days. For both outbursts, the period
P of the oscillation was observed to correlate with the 75-120 A count
rate I_(EUV) according to P is proportional to I_(EUV)^(-0.094). A
magnetospheric model is considered to reproduce this variation. It is
found that an effective high-order multipole field is required, and
that the field strength at the surface of the white dwarf is 0.1-1 MG.
Such a field strength is at the lower extreme of those measured or
inferred for bona fide magnetic cataclysmic variables.

AUTONOMOUS OPERATION OF THE SCIENCE PAYLOAD ON THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET
EXPLORER
R.F. Malina
Submitted to International Astronautical Federation, Symposium: IAA
11, Small Satellite Missions Symposium, Session: IAA 11.3, On Board
Autonomous Systems for Small Satellites, 1995. [CEA publication
#677; not preprinted]
The EUVE satellite was launched by NASA in 1992. In 1993, NASA
began to drastically reduce available funding for operations and
threatened early end of operations unless innovative lower cost
approaches to operating EUVE could be found. This paper describes the
re-engineering of the EUVE science operations center that has been
successfully carried out. The EUVE science operations center was
designed around the premise of around-the-clock staffing. In late
1994, the EUVE science operation center was successfully moved to one
8-hour shift, 7-day a week operation with no loss of science return
and with increased payload safety. In late 1995, the EUVE science
operations center will move to zero manned shifts. This has been
carried out through the rapid infusion of new autonomous monitoring
software on the ground and increased on-board autonomy. Commercially
available artificial intelligence software was augmented for the
EUVE-specific requirements. In 1995, EUVE was designated by NASA-GSFC
as a flight operation innovation testbed. This has allowed rapid
prototyping of software in a real operations environment and rapid,
safe, migration of new operation procedures and software into
operations use. The EUVE innovation program was carried out with
innovative engineers at NASA, JPL, Ames Research Center, and GSFC.
The biggest impediment to moving from operations concepts based on
human availability and intervention to operations predicated on full
autonomy with human intervention only for anomaly response has been
institutional resistance not availability of low-cost technical
solutions.

SEARCHING FOR A FUNDAMENTAL HEATING MECHANISM IN LOW-ACTIVITY DWARFS
M. Mathioudakis
To appear in Astrophysical Letters and Communications, presented June
1995 at the NATO ASI on Solar and Stellar MHD Flows in Crete,
Greece. [CEA publication #703; not preprinted]
The detection of a well-defined lower limit in the surface flux
versus color diagrams, and the fact that all late-type dwarfs examined
have chromospheric Mg II emission cores, shows that the formation of
chromospheres in late-type dwarfs is universal. This result implies
that a basic, fundamental heating mechanism exists in the atmosphere
of late-type dwarfs. Recent results in the extreme ultraviolet and in
X-rays have shown that low-activity dwarfs have detectable coronal
emission. Their corona is characterized by relatively cool
temperatures, typically less than a few million degrees. Current
theories of acoustic heating reproduce quite well the observational
parameters of low-activity dwarfs. However, the basal emission could
also arise from a fundamental magnetic rather than acoustic heating
mechanism. We review the observational properties of low-activity
dwarfs and compare them with current theories of atmospheric heating.

EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET EMISSION LINES OF FE XIII IN SOLAR AND STELLAR
SPECTRA
F.P. Keenan, V.J. Foster, J.J. Drake, S.S. Tayal, and K.G. Widing
Astrophysical Journal, 453, 906-910, 1995. [CEA publication #708; not
preprinted]
Recent R-matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates
for Fe XIII are used to derive the theoretical electron density
sensitive emission line ratios R_1 = I(3s^2 3p^2 1D-3s3p^3 1D)/I(3s^2
3p^2 3P_2-3s3p^3 3P_2) = I(318.12 A)/I(320.80 A) and R_2 = I(3s^2 3p^2
1D-3s3p^3 1P)/I(3s^2 2p^2 3P_2-3s3p^3 3S) = I(256.42 A)/I(251.95 A),
which are found to be up to 70% different from earlier diagnostics. A
comparison of the current line ratios with both solar flare and active
region observations, obtained by the Naval Research Laboratory's S082A
spectrograph on board Skylab, reveals generally good agreement between
densities deduced from Fe XIII and those estimated from diagnostic
line ratios in species formed at similar temperatures, such as
I(219.12 A)/I(211.32 A) in Fe XIV. This provides experimental support
for the accuracy of the line ratio calculations, and hence the atomic
data adopted in their derivation. In Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer
satellite (EUVE) spectra the Fe XIII emission lines are found to be
severely blended. However, an analysis of these lines measured in the
spectra of Procyon and alpha Cen demonstrates that they still allow
very approximate values of the electron density to be inferred.
Moreover, it should be possible to increase the accuracy of the
measured line fluxes, and hence of the inferred densities, if longer
exposures of the stars concerned can be obtained.

MULTIWAVELENGTH DATA SUGGEST A CYCLOTRON FEATURE ON THE HOT THERMAL
CONTINUUM OF GEMINGA
G.F. Bignami, P.A. Caraveo, R. Mignani, J. Edelstein, and S. Bowyer
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 456, L111-L114, 1996. [CEA publication
#709]
A new set of ground-based optical, HST, UV, and EUVE data on
Geminga are presented. The object, identified with a high proper
motion isolated neutron star (INS), is seen to emit thermal radiation
with a temperature in the range (2.2-2.8)E+5 K. This is compatible
with the global thermal emission from the surface of a standard
neutron star of Geminga's spin-down age located at the distance of
about 160 pc, recently reassured through its annual parallax. However,
in the "optical" (3400-8000 A) range, combined ground-based and HST
data suggest the presence of a spectral feature (either in emission or
possibly in absorption) superimposed on the Rayleigh-Jeans continuum.
Its simplest interpretation could be related to an ion (H or He)
cyclotron frequency for the object's canonical magnetic field of
1.5E+12 G. This is the first observational evidence for an optical
spectral feature in an INS. A search for a similar effect should also
be feasible for PSR 0656+14, the only other INS possibly showing
optical thermal emission from its surface.

SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET EXPLORER
S. Bowyer and R. F. Malina
Advances in Space Research, 16, 15, 1995. [CEA publication #715; not
preprinted]
We present a few scientific highlights from the Extreme Ultraviolet
Explorer (EUVE) all-sky and deep surveys, from the EUVE Right Angle
Program, and from the EUVE Guest Observer Program. The First EUVE
Source Catalog includes 410 extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources detected
in the initial processing of the EUVE all-sky data. A program of
optical identification indicates that counterparts include cool star
coronae, flare stars, hot white dwarfs, central stars of planetary
nebulae, B star photospheres and winds, an X-ray binary, extragalactic
objects (active galactic nuclei, BL Lacertae), solar system objects
(Moon, Mars, Io,), supernova remnants, and two novae.

THE EUV SPECTRUM OF AT MICROSCOPII
B. C. Monsignori Fossi, M. Landini, J. J. Drake, and S. L. Cully
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 302, 193, 1995. [CEA publication #717]
The extreme ultraviolet emission obtained during a 1992 July 14-17
observation of AU Mic has been studied with lines detected with the
short, medium, and long wavelength (SW, MW, LW) spectrometers on the
Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). The flares were observed during
this period. The time evolution of the differential emission measure
is presented. The synthetic spectrum derived from the differential
emission measure is compared with the observed data. An estimate of
the density and volume of the emitting plasma is obtained using Fe XXI
lines.

SCIENCE ON-LINE PROJECT: THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE
LESSON PLANS USING INTERNET RESOURCES
R. Battle and I. Hawkins
Report to NASA, 1995. [CEA publication #720]
We begin this report with a description of the history, goals, and
structure of "Science On-Line -- Earth and Space Science for the
Classroom (SOL)," an Internet-based lesson plan development project.
In the second section, we present the theoretical principles upon
which the project was designed. In the third section, we present an
overview of the Science On-Line events. In the fourth and fifth
sections, we describe the Internet-based lesson plan development
process. This includes a discussion of design problems, successes,
and development practices. In the sixth section, we present a section
on the pilot-testing phase of the lessons. This section describes the
pilot testing and gives a brief overview of feedback for each of six
lessons generated by the pilot-testing phase. Implications are
described in the seventh and final section. We envision that the
Science On-Line (SOL) results will provide valuable guidance for the
design and implementation of similar future programs.

WHITE DWARFS IN CLOSE BINARIES IN THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET EXPLORER
ALL-SKY SURVEY
S. Vennes and J.R. Thorstensen
In White Dwarfs, ed. D. Koester and K. Werner (Berlin:
Springer-Verlag), Proceedings of the 9th European Workshop on White
Dwarfs, 313-317, 1995. [CEA publication #722; not preprinted]
We examine the orbital and physical properties of the EUVE sample of
white dwarfs found in binary systems with short orbital periods (~1
d). These systems, consisting of a hot white dwarf and a main
sequence star, are recent survivors of a common envelope phase
responsible for dramatic momentum losses and orbital shrinkage. The
white dwarfs in close binaries also constitute a surprisingly large
fraction of the total sample of white dwarfs discovered in the EUVE
all-sky survey. Most secondary stars are M-dwarfs, with an average
mass of > 0.5 M_solar, and comparisons with some simulated samples of
close binaries suggest that many more systems with very low mass
secondary stars (< 0.3 M_solar) remain to be discovered.

SPECTROSCOPY OF THE LYMAN CONTINUUM OF HOT DAS USING THE EXTREME
ULTRAVIOLET EXPLORER

In White Dwarfs, ed. D. Koester and K. Werner (Berlin:
Springer-Verlag), Proceedings of the 9th European Workshop on White
Dwarfs, 323-327, 1995. [CEA publication #723; not preprinted]
We report observations by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE)
of the hot DA stars Feige 24, G191-B2B, HZ 43, GD 71, and GD 153 which
are among the brightest white dwarfs observed by EUVE. Spectral
features such as the He I photoionization edge at 504 A and the
autoionization feature at 206 A, as well as the He II photoionization
edge at 228 A are fingerprints of the ISM typically detected in the
EUVE spectra of hot DA. Effective temperatures both obtained from the
fitting of pure hydrogen and metal-blanketed models are derived along
with the ISM column densities of H I and He I.

ORFEUS AND EUVE OBSERVATIONS OF THE COOL DO HD 149499 B
R. Napiwotzki, S. Jordan, D. Koester, V. Weidemann, S. Bowyer, and M.
Hurwitz
In White Dwarfs, ed. D. Koester and K. Werner (Berlin:
Springer-Verlag), Proceedings of the 9th European Workshop on White
Dwarfs, 337, 1995. [CEA publication #724; not preprinted]
We present an analysis of FUV and EUV observations of the cool DO
white dwarf HD 149499 B. It is by far the brightest star (V ~ 11.7)
of this class. However, it is a secondary in a binary system,
separated from a K0V primary 3 mag brighter in V by only 1.5 arc-sec.
This makes optical observations of the white dwarf nearly impossible.
However, in the FUV/EUV region the flux of the hot white dwarf is
virtually undisturbed by the cool companion.

SCIENCE-ON LINE: PARTNERSHIP APPROACH FOR THE CREATION OF
INTERNET-BASED CLASSROOM RESOURCES
I. Hawkins and R. Battle
To be presented at the 80th Annual Meeting of the American Education
Research Association, New York, April 1996. [CEA publication #725]
This project investigates methods by which collaborations among
teachers, other professional educators, and scientists can help the
access of scientific data by teachers and students, taking advantage
of a more technologically-driven, research-based model of learning.
This investigation is developing case studies for effective ways of
supporting teachers in the contextually relevant use of Internet
technology in the class room environment.

CLASSROOM RESOURCES
R. Battle and I. Hawkins
To be presented at the 80th Annual Meeting of the American Education
Research Association, New York, April 1996. [CEA publication #726]
This study investigates effective practices for
educationally-relevant uses of distributed Internet resources made
available by the advent of platform-dependent World Wide Web
resources. This investigation developed case studies of emerging
practices in the context of the creation and pilot testing of
classroom Inter net-based instruction lessons. These case studies will
serve as exemplars of tested Internet-based lesson development
practices for the educational community.

2. EUVE Science Operations News
===============================
2.1 Change in Data Recording Strategy -- Orbital Night Only
-----------------------------------------------------------
by Ronald J. Oliversen, EUVE Associate Project Scientist at GSFC
On 14 Mar the EUVE Project changed the on-board tape recording
management scheme to record orbital night data only. This change has
been precipitated by reduced funding for spacecraft operations, the
eight hour on-board tape record capacity, and the eventual
single-shift coverage of the explorer platform flight operations team.
For most programs, this change should have minimal impact on EUVE
science. The EUVE Project has never had a requirement to deliver
orbital day science data (due to the poorer quality of these data) and
has only delivered orbital night data as the standard GO data product.
For those few programs that have made special requests for orbital day
data in the past, we will not change our data recording strategy to
accommodate those requests. We regret any problems that this may
cause.
2.2 CEA Proposal to "Outsource" EUVE Mission
--------------------------------------------
by Dr. Roger Malina, EUVE Mission Operations Principal
Investigator
It is now NASA policy to carry out outsourcing of routine
spacecraft operations to industry or academia. After discussion with
NASA officials and the EUVE Users Committee, the University of
California at Berkeley has submitted a proposal to NASA for
outsourcing of EUVE that is responsive to this new NASA strategy. The
proposal addresses concerns raised by the EUVE Users Committee to
ensure that an outsourced EUVE project is fully responsive to the
needs of the user community, and for completion of the EUVE archive
after the end of mission. Additional information on this unsolicited
proposal can be obtained by contacting Roger Malina
(rmalina@cea.berkeley.edu).
NASA currently plans to terminate EUVE operations in the Fall of
1997. NASA will be conducting a Senior Review this summer that will
consider extending EUVE operations beyond this date; as we understand
it, unless EUVE is successfully outsourced, extension beyond the Fall
of 1997 is unlikely.
The EUVE Users Committee will be developing the proposal to NASA to
make the scientific case for extending EUVE operations beyond fall
1997. New EUVE scientific results over the coming months will be
important factors in convincing NASA to extend the EUVE mission. The
EUVE user community is urged to make the EUVE Users Committee or the
EUVE GO Center aware of new results accepted for publication so that
these can be highlighted in the EUVE extended mission proposal.
2.3 Upcoming Observation of Comet 1996 B2 (Hyakutake)
-----------------------------------------------------
by Dave Meriwether, ISO Observation Support Team Leader
The long-period comet C/1996 B2 (Hyakutake; P = 18,000 years) will
make its closest approach to Earth this month, coming to within ~10
million miles -- a mere stone's throw in astronomical terms. EUVE
will observe C/1996 B2 for four days in late Mar. At that time the
motion of C/1996 B2 relative to EUVE will be such the comet will be
moving across the satellite's field of view at a speed comparable to
that of the Moon. To compensate for this rapid motion, EUVE will need
constant pointing adjustments to properly track C/1996 B2, which makes
this observation the most difficult one yet made with EUVE. However,
it is expected that the science return will be worth the effort, and
will reveal an unprecedented amount of information on the nature and
behavior of comets.
2.4 Public Data Release for 1 Apr 1996
--------------------------------------
by Dr. Nahide Craig, ISO User Support Scientist
The table below lists the GO observations that become public on 1
Apr 1996. For each entry is given the target name, the approximate
exposure time in ksec, the GMT start and end date(s) for the
observation, the spectral type of the target, and the data
identification code. All public data sets can be ordered from the
archive via WWW and electronic or postal mail (see addresses below).
Please be sure to include in your order the DataID(s) of interest.
Processed data sets are shipped on 8mm tape (or, if requested, on
CD-ROM) via postal mail.
The data rights policy for GO observations states that GOs have
proprietary rights to the data for one year from the date (s)he
receives it. It is often the case that long observations are broken
up over many months; e.g., an observation approved for 60 ksec may
actually be observed for 10 ksec one month, 20 ksec the next and 30
ksec three months later. In such cases the one-year proprietary
period begins after the GO is sent the final piece of the completed
observation.
