The sun as a possible energy standard in the ultraviolet region at wavelengths less than 3000 A
Abstract
The UV spectrum of the sun is analyzed on the basis of available spaceborne measurements. At wavelengths less than 2000 A, there exists a discrepancy of a factor of 3 between measurements of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and all other available data. In the UV spectral region greater than 2000 A all available data are in good agreement, and hence it is concluded that the sun can be used as a standard energy source (equally with the standard stars) at wavelengths greater than 2000 A.
