Calibration of the UV experiment in ANS.
Abstract
The paper describes the calibration of the ultraviolet spectrophotometer in the Netherlands Astronomical Satellite, launched 30 August, 1974. The instrument response curves have been determined in a vacuum optical bench facility. The absolute calibration was obtained by comparison with a standard. The final result is believed to be accurate to 30%.
