Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope Near-UV Bright Objects Catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) Near-UV Bright Objects Catalog is a photometric catalog of 2244 objects detected by the UIT in the near-ultraviolet (NUV; 1650A<lambda<2900A) during the Astro-1 Space Shuttle mission.
Description
Sources in the catalog are as faint as near-UV magnitude m_nuv of about 18.8, or near-UV flux f_nuv ~ 1.1x10<sup>-16ergs/s/cm</sup>2/A, but the survey is not complete to this level.
Optical catalogs were used to cross identify sources and derive near-UV to Johnson V colors. A majority of the objects (88%) do indeed have proposed optical identifications from catalogs, and most are stars. The authors' purpose in creating the catalog was to form a database useful for identifying very blue objects and for performing Galactic UV stellar population studies.

This database was created by the HEASARC in November 2000 based on a machine-readable version obtained from the CDS (Catalog J/ApJS/104/287). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
