High resolution stellar spectroscopy in the balloon ultraviolet.
Abstract
The JSC/SRL Balloon-borne Ultraviolet Stellar Spectrometer (BUSS) comprises a 40 cm telescope, an echelle spectrograph and a SEC Vidicon detector. Operating at an altitude of 40 km this instrument provides spectra of stars with 0.1 A resolution in the 2000-3400 A region. Observations made on 19 May 1976, are discussed.
