The International Ultraviolet Explorer Spectral Image Processing System
Abstract
The International Ultraviolet Explorer spectral image processing system is an on-line interactive system which provides data on the UV spectra of astronomical objects in the wavelength range 1000 to 3200 A. In operation for one year, the image processing system accepts two-dimensional images transmitted digitally from the satellite's SEC vidicon cameras. The system extracts spectral intensity as a function of wavelength and removes background, scattered light, halation and echelle effects.
