Scientific paper

The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT), flown aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia in the Astro-1 mission, provided the first spectrophotometry in theKyman alpha region for many astronomical sources. Observations of 77 sources were made throughout the far ultraviolet (912 to 1850 A, delta lambda approximately 3 A), and for a few objects in the extreme ultraviolet (415 to 912 A, delta lambda approximately 1.5 A). Among the objects observed were quasars, galaxy clusters, active and normal galaxies, cataclysmic variables, globular clusters, supernova remnants, planetary nebulae, and white dwarfs.
