Scientific paper

In the local interstellar medium, the presence of hot gas was inferred from measurements of oxygen VI absorption in the ultraviolet, and from diffuse emission in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray regions. A spectrometer that is very sensitive to gas in this temperature range is described. The spectrometer uses an array of plane ruled gratings at grazing incidence in the extreme off plane mount. A set of Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors focuses the conically diffracted light on to one of two microchannel plate detectors. The field of view of the instrument is 0.2 deg by 12 deg. The predicted sensitivity ranges from 50 to 200 ph/(sq cm sec str) with a resolving power of 15 to 50 over the 50 to 700 angstrom wavelength band.
