1.1 Recent EUVE Science Highlights
----------------------------------
by Dr. Pierre Chayer, EUVE/CEA Scientist
*** EUVE Observations of the B Giant Star beta Canis Majoris ***
Drs. J.P. Cassinelli, D.H. Cohen, J.J. MacFarlane, J.E. Drew,
A.E. Lynas-Gray, I. Hubeny, J.V. Vallerga, B.Y. Welsh, and M.G.
Hoare obtained and analyzed the EUVE spectrum of the bright
variable star beta CMa (B1 II-III). This star is one of the
strongest EUV sources detected with the long-wavelength (LW)
spectrometer in the wavelength region lambda > 504 A even though it
is at a distance of 206 pc. Dr. Cassinelli and his collaborators
derived from the EUVE data a neutral hydrogen column density of
~2E+18 cm^(-2) and a lower limit for the neutral helium column
density of 1.4E+18 cm^(-2) toward beta CMa, showing that along this
sight line much of the hydrogen is ionized while helium is neutral.
Dr. Cassinelli and his team made a comparison between the emergent
flux and the predictions of model atmospheres and showed that the
predicted energy distribution does not match observations in all
wavelength regions, so they propose additional photospheric opacity
sources. As beta CMa is among the brightest of the beta Cephei
class of variable stars, Dr. Cassinelli's group also analyzed the
star's pulsation properties from the EUV observations. They found
that the semi-amplitude of the effective temperature change
associated with the pulsation is 108 K for the primary period.
1.2 Abstracts of Recently *Accepted* EUVE Papers

A POSSIBLE X-RAY COUNTERPART TO SGR1900+14

C. Meegan, G. Fishman, S. Kulkarni, D. Frail, S. Bowyer, and M.
Lampton
To appear in The Astrophysical Journal (Letters).
The location of the soft gamma repeater SGR1900+14 was recently
reduced to two ~5 arcmin^2 alternate error boxes by the network
synthesis method. We have used the ROSAT High Resolution Imager to
observe the error box which is closest to the supernova remnant
G42.8+0.6. A quiescent, steady, point X-ray source was found at
alpha(2000) = 19h 07m 14.15s, delta(2000) = 9 deg 19' 19.06" whose
unabsorbed flux is 3E-12 erg cm^(-2) s^(-1). Its position is also
consistent with a peculiar double infrared source. We have also
examined this region using the VLA, and have obtained upper limits to
the extreme ultraviolet flux of this object using the EUVE spacecraft.
--------------------------------------------------------------
EUVE OBSERVATIONS OF U GEM IN OUTBURST
K.S. Long, C.W. Mauche, J.C. Raymond, P. Szkody, and J.A. Mattei
To appear in The Astrophysical Journal.
We have observed U Gem during the peak and declining phases of a
wide outburst in 1993 December with the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer
(EUVE) Satellite. At peak, U Gem was one of the brightest EUV sources
in the sky. The spectrum of the source is complex. Fitted to a
blackbody spectrum, the apparent temperature at peak is 140,000 K, the
luminosity is 4E+34 (D/90 pc)^2 erg/s, and the minimum size of the
emitting region is comparable to that of the white dwarf. If the EUV
emission arises primarily from the boundary layer, then the boundary
layer luminosity in U Gem is comparable to the disk luminosity. The
EUV source is partially eclipsed at orbital phases 0.6-0.8. The
eclipse spectrum, which we associate with a wind emerging from the
vicinity of the white dwarf, is dominated by emission features. The
identification of these emission features with transitions expected in
a relatively cool (T < 160,000 K), photoionized plasma helps to
resolve a controversy concerning the ionization state of winds of
dwarf novae. The EUV lines arise from the dominant ionization states
of the wind, and their strengths suggest that the wind mass loss rate,
at least in U Gem, is a substantial fraction of the WD accretion rate.

EUV SPECTROSCOPY OF STELLAR CORONAE
N.S. Brickhouse
To appear in Proceedings of the Tenth APS Topical Conference on Atomic
Processes in Plasmas.
The EUV spectral region contains a wealth of plasma diagnostics for
stellar coronae (T_e ~5E+05 to 2E+07 K). Of particular importance for
understanding coronal structure are the observable emission lines of
highly ionized iron (Fe VIII-XXIV), which allow the determination of
electron temperatures (and the detailed temperature distributions) and
electron densities. Comparison of continuum emission and lines from
other elements with the iron lines provides diagnostics for relative
abundances in the stellar atmospheres.
Recent work in both solar and stellar coronal physics has greatly
changed our picture of the corona, with EUV spectroscopy providing
critical pieces of the puzzle. Here we discuss some important new
spectral diagnostic results, examining in particular the quality of
the theoretical atomic physics used in the data interpretation.

DISCOVERY OF PHOTOSPHERIC HELIUM IN THE ULTRA-MASSIVE DA WHITE DWARF
GD 50
S. Vennes, S. Bowyer, and J. Dupuis
Astrophysical Journal (Letters), 461, L103. [CEA publication #727]
Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectroscopy of the hot, hydrogen-rich
white dwarf GD 50 reveals an unusual photospheric mixture of hydrogen
and helium. This hot DA white dwarf is also remarkable for its mass
(~1.2 M_solar) near the Chandrasekhar limit. The spectra obtained with
the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) show a prominent He II
resonance line series and constrain its atmospheric parameters to
T_eff = 40,300 +/- 100 K and n(He)/n(H) = (2.4 +/- 0.1)E-04 (assuming
log g =9.0). We also constrain the local interstellar medium column
densities of neutral helium and hydrogen to n_HeI = 6E+16 and n_HI =
9E+17 cm^(-2). The presence of helium in an isolated, massive DA white
dwarf is paradoxical. We examine and rule out a few scenarios
(radiative levitation, accretion from the ISM or a hypothetical
companion), but we suggest that if massive white dwarfs do result from
stellar mergers, large orbital angular momentum may be preserved and
result in a large meridional circulation current, possibly dredging-up
helium from the envelope. Although we find evidence of large
rotational velocity in EUV He II line profiles, we propose additional
observational tests of the dredge-up model.

HOT WHITE DWARFS IN THE EXTREME ULTRAVIOLET EXPLORER SURVEY. I.
PROPERTIES OF A SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE SAMPLE
S. Vennes, P.A. Thejll, D.T. Wickramasinghe, and M.S. Bessell
To appear The Astrophysical Journal. [CEA publication #728]
We present optical spectroscopy of the Balmer line series (H-beta
through H8) of a sample of 18 hot white dwarfs obtained at the Mount
Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories; the stars are a subset of the
white dwarfs detected in the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE)
all-sky survey. We analyze the Balmer line profiles conjointly with
EUV photometric measurements and provide new effective temperature and
surface gravity determinations. We also provide determinations of the
neutral hydrogen column density in the interstellar medium toward
these lines of sight. The spectral and photometric properties of most
objects in our sample are consistent with emission from pure-hydrogen
atmospheres. However, we find evidence for the presence of trace
absorbers in the photospheres of 5 out of 18 objects from the sample
-- EUVE J0230-479, EUVE J0809-729, EUVE J1546-370, EUVE J2004-560, and
EUVE J2324-547. The star EUVE J0230-479 figures among the group of DA
white dwarfs with the highest level of metallicity, while EUVE
J0809-729 is one of the coolest DA stars (~30,000 K) to show evidence
of trace elements. We also report the discovery of three new massive
white dwarf stars -- EUVE J1546-367 (M ~ 1.0 M_solar), EUVE J1727-360
(M ~ 1.2 M_solar), and EUVE J1746-706 (M ~ 1.4 M_solar); excluding the
two high-mass (M > 1.1 M_solar) objects from our sample, we obtain an
average white dwarf mass of 0.64 M_solar.

DISCOVERY OF PHOTOSPHERIC SULFUR AND PHOSPHORUS IN ORFEUS SPECTRA OF
THE HOT WHITE DWARFS G191-B2B AND MCT 0455-2812
S. Vennes, P. Chayer, M. Hurwitz, and S. Bowyer
To appear in The Astrophysical Journal. [CEA publication #732]
High-dispersion observations of the far ultraviolet spectra of the
hot DA white dwarfs G191-B2B and MCT 0455-2812 reveal the presence of
two previously undetected elements in white dwarf photospheres: sulfur
and phosphorus. The spectra, obtained with the Berkeley EUV/FUV
spectrometer and the ORFEUS telescope aboard the space platform
Astro-SPAS, show characteristic Lyman line series and extend beyond
the H I interstellar medium (ISM) absorption edge in the extreme
ultraviolet. We provide new effective temperature and surface gravity
measurements based on a detailed fit to the Lyman line series which
show an interesting dependence on the heavy element abundance. Weak
absorption lines are identified with C III lambda 977.02, N III lambda
989.799, Si IV lambdas 1066.629, 1122.486, 1128.325, P V lambdas
1117.978, 1128.007, and S IV lambdas 1062.671, 1072.990. The origin
of the carbon and nitrogen features is uncertain, but the silicon,
phosphorus, and sulfur detection provides the basis for new
photospheric abundance measurements: log(Si/H) = -6.4, log(P/H) = -7.7,
and log(S/H) = -6.7 in G191-B2B, and log(Si/H) = -5.7, and log(P/H) =
-7.6 in MCT 0455-2812. We also provide upper limits to the abundance
of helium and chlorine. These measurements provide a critical insight
into spectral evolution of white dwarf stars and we find strong
evidence of heavy element depletion possibly associated to previous
mass loss episodes in these hot, therefore young, white dwarfs. On
the other hand, we confirm an excess of silicon that could be
explained if these stars currently accrete solid particles from their
immediate environment.

DETECTION OF QUIESCENT EUV EMISSION FROM THE VERY LOW-MASS DWARF VAN
BIESBROECK 8
J.J. Drake, R.A. Stern, G. Stringfellow, M. Mathioudakis, J.M. Laming,
and D.L. Lambert
To appear in The Astrophysical Journal. [CEA publication #734]
We report the detection of quiescent EUV emission from the very low
mass dwarf VB8 by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) in the
Lexan/B band (65-190 A). We interpret this emission in terms of a hot
coronal plasma and combine this information with previous X-ray
detections to estimate the quiescent plasma temperature and emission
measure. The combined observations made by EINSTEIN, ROSAT and EUVE
between 1979 and 1994 are consistent with a quiescent coronal plasma
temperature of 2-6 million degrees, and indicate the same emission
measure to within a factor of about 2: the non-flaring corona of VB8
then appears relatively constant over time scales of more than 10
years. Our results are consistent with the picture of a
turbulently-driven or distributive dynamo for VB8, rather than with a
large-scale field dynamo which appears to dominate the solar corona.
Evidence from X-ray and optical data concerning the long term coronal
variability of the more active stars of higher mass also points
towards the idea that active late-type stars in general are dominated
by a turbulent dynamo.

2.1 New EUVE Software and Reference Data Releases
-------------------------------------------------
by Dr. Mark Abbott, EGO Center Scientist
[Editor's note: Please direct all queries regarding the information
in this section to egoinfo@cea.berkeley.edu.]
The EGO Center announces the release of version 1.6.1 of the EUV
software IRAF layered package and version 1.12 of the EGODATA
calibration data set. The brief descriptions below should help users
determine if they need to update their installations of these
products. All data sets currently sent to investigators by the EGO
Center contain the new versions -- please check the cover letter that
accompanies each data set for version information.
What's New In EUV 1.6.1
-----------------------
This is a maintenance and pipeline-processing release. We have
fixed some bugs, made some minor changes, and done some other work to
support the processing of GO data here at the EGO Center. Most users
should not be greatly affected by this release. One important bug fix
is described below. For more details, see the release notes that
accompany the software.
'qprst' bug fixed
-----------------
A bug in the task 'qprst' that appeared in version 1.6 of the EUV
package has been fixed. The most common symptom was that QPOE files
created with 'qprst' were subsequently unusable with tasks such as
'qpdup' in the EUV package or 'timsort' and 'qpcopy' in the PROS
package. This bug was described in a 15 Dec 1995 message on this
mailing list, at which time a patch was made available to fix the
problem.
The bug has been corrected in the EUV1.6.1 release. Any QPOE files
created with the faulty version of 'qprst', however, will remain
damaged. If you need to use one of the above tasks with such a QPOE,
it will have to be recreated using the fixed version of 'qprst'.
What's New in EGODATA 1.12
--------------------------
New spectrometer wavelength calibration
---------------------------------------
A new revision of the EUVE spectrometer wavelength calibration has
been implemented. A detailed description of how this calibration was
carried out will appear in a paper that has recently been
submitted to The Astrophysical Journal (Supplement):
"The Calibration of the EUVE Spectrometers. I. Wavelength
Calibration and Resolution" by M.J. Abbott, W.T. Boyd, P. Jelinsky,
C. Christian, A. Miller-Bagwell, M. Lampton, R.F. Malina, and
J.V. Vallerga.
A preprint of this paper will be sent to all EUVE GOs in the near
future.
The new calibration has RMS wavelength errors of 0.11 A in the SW
spectrometer, 0.14 A in the MW, and 0.24 A in the LW, which are slight
improvements over the previous calibration. There is substantially
more data included in the new calibration, which means that there
should be fewer gaps in wavelength coverage. Some emission line
identifications have been improved based on recently published results
from EUVE GOs. A more detailed analysis has been done of the causes
and effects of the residual offsets in imaging angle that are known to
be present in EUVE spectral data.
To apply the new calibration to previous data sets, the pipeline
task 'cep' must be rerun. See Chapter 5 of the EUVE Guest Observer
Software User's Guide or contact the EGO Center for help with this.
New Definition of Earth Blockage
--------------------------------
The definition of earth blockage has been changed. An observation
is now considered blocked if EUVE is pointed at an angle larger than
102 degrees from the spacecraft's local zenith direction; an angle of
roughly 107.4 degrees was used previously. Earth blockage is
described further in section 4.3.2 of the EUVE Guest Observer Data
Products Guide. Also, see the memo posted on the CEA WWW site at URL
http://www.cea.berkeley.edu/~science/html/sci_dataacq_scinotes_earthblock.html
New Count Rate Limits
---------------------
A study of the typical count rates in the EUVE spectrometers was
done. Count rates from 28 million seconds of pointed spectrometer
data were used to choose optimal upper limits for the ADct monitors
used to eliminate times with unusually high background (typically due
to passage through the South Atlantic Anomaly). Previously, no upper
limits were set on the data during the nominal reduction. The new
upper limits are: 80 counts/sec in the SW spectrometer, 130 in the MW,
and 150 in the LW. These limits are now used in the EGO Center
nominal reduction to generate the "valid time" filters sw_gt.tab,
mw_gt.tab, and lw_gt.tab that are used (along with earth-blockage
filters) when producing spectral images. There has been no change in
the amount of data delivered to GOs, only in the filtering done in the
nominal reduction. A detailed memo about the count rate analysis is
available on the CEA WWW site at URL
http://www.cea.berkeley.edu/~science/data/ascii/spec_counts.ps
2.2 2nd EUVE Source Catalog in ADS
----------------------------------
by Dr. Nahide Craig, ISO User Support Scientist
The 2nd EUVE Source Catalog (Bowyer, 1996), which contains
information on 734 sources detected by EUVE, is now available on-line
via NASA's Astrophysics Data System (ADS). ADS is an environment that
provides the astronomical community with a wealth of data (e.g.,
source catalogs) and information sources (e.g., abstracts and papers)
via various on-line electronic services.
The 2nd Catalog supplements previous EUVE catalogs, all of which
are available via ADS:
o euve_bsl -- "The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Bright Source List"
(Malina, 1994)
o euve_cat1 -- "The First EUVE Source Catalog" (Bowyer, 1994)
o euve_cat1supp -- supplement to "The First EUVE Source Catalog"

2.3 Public Data Release for 1 May 1996
--------------------------------------
by Dr. Nahide Craig, ISO User Support Scientist
The table below lists the GO observations that become public on 1
May 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.
