================================================================================
ADC_Keywords: Spectra, ultraviolet; Spectrophotometry; Stars, bright
Mission_Name: TD1
Description:
The catalog contains observations carried out by the S2/68 Ultraviolet Sky
Survey Telescope (UVSST) aboard the ESRO Satellite, TD-1. The data
presented in the catalog were obtained during the first observation period,
which lasted from 19 March 1972 to 31 October 1972. The spectrum was
formed on the focal surface of the spectrophotometer with a dispersion of
36 angstroms/mm. The catalog includes fluxes for each of 61 wavelengths
from 1360 A to 2540 A in 20-A steps and at 2740 A, right ascension and
declination (equinox B2000.0), spectral types, luminosity classes, visual
magnitudes, colors, rotational velocities, references for source material,
and cross identifications to the numbering system of The Henry Draper
Catalogue.

Note (1): RMS deviations of the observations (fields named 'e_Fnnnn')
are given as a percentage:
(100/<F>) * SQRT( SUM((F_i - <F>)**2)/(n-1) )
where
F_i is the individual flux at wavelength lambda
<F> is the average flux at wavelength lamda
n is the number of averaged observations (field Spectra)
Historical Notes:
* From the "Selected Astronomical Catalogs" Vol. 1 CD-ROM (1992),
directory /spectro/uvbs.
* An unresolved problem as reported in the ADC Electronic Newsletter
Volume 2, Issue 1 (January 1993).

Ultraviolet Bright Star Spectrophotometric Catalog (SPECTRO/UVBS)
Submitted by W. Landsman, Hughes STX
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have found a problem with the TD-1 bright star spectrophotometric
catalog (UVBS) as it appears in the ADC CD-ROM. The problem is the loss
of precision in the fluxes of the TD1 spectrophotometric catalog due to
the processing done at Goddard. To quote from Section 4 of the
documentation:
"The flux was initially given at each of the 61 wavelengths in a E9.3
format in units of erg/(cm^2 s^1 A^1). These quantities were multiplied
by 10^10 so that they could be given in a F6.2 format in units of 10^-10
erg/(cm^2 s^1 A^1), thus reducing the logical record length by 183 bytes."
Unfortunately, the above process takes a flux of 5.23E-12 and transforms
it to 0.05 losing two significant digits. The number of stars with fluxes
less than 1e-11 is quite small, but many stars have fluxes less than 1e-10
and lose 1 significant digit in the ADC CD-ROM version of the catalog.
* 03-Jan-1995: a few errors corrected for UVBS:
929 (U-B value)
1019 (misalignment of Greek letter)
1039 (E(B-V) value)
1040 (E(B-V) value)
1170 (misalignment of Greek letter)
* 18-Jan-2002: Corrected units in explanation of fluxes
