The ultraviolet experiment onboard the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite - ANS.
Abstract
The ultraviolet experiment package on board the ANS consists of a 22 cm diameter Cassegrain telescope, followed by a five channel intermediate band spectrophotometer. The instrument response function for each bandpass is almost rectangular. The central wavelengths are 155, 180, 220, 250 and 330 nm respectively. The in-orbit performance of the instrument is according to expectations. Observational results of some typical objects are summarized to illustrate the capabilities of the instrument.
