INFORMAL ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER FOR THE EUVE SCIENCE PAYLOAD
------------------------------------------------------------------
Volume 1, Number 11 May 1, 1992
------------------------------------------------------------------
EUVE LAUNCH DATE: LAUNCH DATE MOVED TO JUNE
Due to the delay in the Shuttle launch and the Delta launch
scheduled ahead of EUVE, the EUVE launch date has been moved from
May 28, 1992 to early June. The earliest availability is June 2,
with a likely date of June 4. A meeting will be held early next
week to set the launch date after the Shuttle and Delta launch
dates firm up. For those planning to attend the EUVE launch, if
you wish to receive up-to-date information on the Launch Date you
may phone NASA's 24-hour hotline number: (202) 755-8363 or send
email to pub@ssl.berkeley.edu.
EUVE SPACECRAFT STATUS
Final launch and pad simulations are under way at Cape Canaveral.
Last month the star tracker shutters and the gyro electronics
were removed for re-work and were re-installed. EUVE will be
moved to the launch pad following the Delta launch scheduled for
early May.
ROSAT SOURCES NOW ON-LINE
The CEA ADS has received the ROSAT Wide Field Camera Bright
Source List in electronic form and has made it available to
the community in support of the EUVE NRA. The source list is ac-
cessible from the EUVE Astrophysics Data System node, the EGO
Center electronic mail server and the EGO Center ftp site. The
list contains 384 objects detected by the ROSAT Wide Field Camera
during the all-sky survey of July, 1990 - January, 1991. Each
source has entries for R.A. and Dec (2000 coordinates), S1 and S2
count rates and errors, the name of any possible counterpart and
the number of possible counterparts, the type of object, and the
radius of the error circle.
This information in this pre-publication list is based on that to
be published by Pounds, et al., in MNRAS. The correct reference
for the data is "The ROSAT all-sky survey of Extreme Ultraviolet
sources: I Bright Source Catalogue" Pounds, K. A., et al, 1992,
to be submitted to MNRAS.
To obtain the Bright Source List and other files from the mail
server, send mail to egoinfo@ssl.berekeley.edu with the words
"send index" for a listing of available files or "send
WFC_bright_source.tbl" or "send WFC_bright_source.tex" for tabu-
lar text or tex files. The send command must be part of the body
of the message, not the subject string or header.
To use the anonymous ftp site, ftp to superego.ssl.berkely.edu
(Internet 128.32.147.194) and log on with the user name
"anonymous". The directory "pub" contains various tables and
files including the Bright Source list. Files can be retrieved
using the "get" command, for example, "get
WFC_bright_source.tbl".
The ROSAT WFC Bright Source list is also available by contacting
the EUVE Project Scientist, Dr Yoji Kondo and the GSFC HESARC.
EUVE GUEST OBSERVER NRA
The EUVE Guest Observer NRA has been issued by NASA. Proposals
are due to NASA by July 1, 1992.
