摘要: The Astro-1 mission obtained observations related to a wide variety of current problems in astronomy during 9-day flight the space shuttle Columbia. Early results from one instruments, Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, are reviewed here. Among these new insights concerning origin ultraviolet light old stellar population elliptical galaxies, evidence for hot, gaseous corona surrounding Milky Way, improved views physical conditions active galactic nuclei, and measurement ionization state local interstellar medium.
