Extreme ultraviolet astronomy

This book on extreme ultraviolet (EUV) astronomy presents an overview of EUV observations and discusses the sources of EUV radiation (including white dwarfs, cool stars, hot stars, cataclysmic variables, compact objects, extragalactic objects, solar system objects, and interstellar medium), interstellar absorption, innovative EUV instrumentation, and future EUV missions. Papers are presented on EUV results from Voyager, an ultrasoft Einstein X-ray survey, metal abundances in the atmospheres of hot He-rich white dwarfs, a review of EUV emission from cool star coronae, EUV line fluxes from shocked wind models of B stars, and EUV constraints on boundary layer models for cataclysmic variables. Other papers are on EUV emission from gamma-ray-burst sources, EUV excesses in quasars, a modeled EUV spectrum of Jupiter's aurora, the EUV characteristics of cooling bubbles of hot gas in the interstellar medium, EUV opacity with interstellar dust, and a high-efficiency imaging EUV spectrometer.
