EUVE: First Extreme Ultraviolet Sky Survey Data

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite was launched in June 1992 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It conducted the first all-sky survey in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength range of 70-760 Angstroms, followed by a Guest Observer Program of pointed observations. The dataset includes files in JPEG, BIN, ISO, PDF, and ZIP formats.

Use Cases

• Cataloging extreme ultraviolet astronomical sources based on the all-sky survey data.
• Analyzing spectral properties of celestial objects using the 70-760 Angstrom wavelength range.
• Conducting pointed observational studies based on the Guest Observer Program data.
• Developing image processing techniques for astronomical data in multiple file formats.

Strengths

• Data originates from the first extreme ultraviolet all-sky survey, a foundational mission.
• Includes data from both a survey and a subsequent Guest Observer Program.
• Files are available in multiple formats, including JPEG, PDF, and raw BIN/ISO.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
