A review of ultraviolet astronomical research with the Copernicus satellite
Abstract
Results of ultraviolet spectrophotometric observations with the satellite Copernicus (OAO-3) are summarized, and are intended to be completely covered through January 1, 1976. Interstellar research recently reviewed elsewhere is not included, although some newer interstellar results are described. A large fraction of the research covered in this review has been carried out by Guest Investigators with Copernicus. A brief description of the spacecraft and its operation is included.
