Scientific paper

The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was flown aboard the space shuttle Columbia as part of the Astron-1 mission during December 1990. During the nine-day flight, HUT carried out 3 A resolution spectrophotometry of a wide variety of astronomical objects, including a number of stellar targets, in the 912-1860 A range of the far ultraviolet. A few nearby stars were observed in the 415-912 A range of the extreme ultraviolet as well. For nearly all of these targets, the spectra obtained by HUT are the first ever obtained in the spectroscopically rich region between Lyman-alpha (1216 A) and the Lyman limit (912 A). Here, we present highlights of the results obtained by HUT in a variety of areas of stellar astronomy.
