We present observations of the active M-dwarf binary AT Mic(dM4.5e+dM4.5e)obtained with the orbital observatory Astro Sat.During 20 ks of observations,in the far-ultraviolet(130-180 nm)and soft X-ray(0.3-7 keV)spectra...
We have studied the spectral behavior of theⅡPeg binary system in the ultraviolet band by using International Ultraviolet Explorer(IUE)observations over the period 1979-1993.The ultraviolet observations reveal indica...

We present a star catalog extracted from the Lunar-based Ultraviolet Telescope (LUT) survey program. LUT's observable sky area is a circular belt around the Moon's north pole, and the survey program covers a prefe...
The Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) is one of the payloads on the first Indian multiwavelength satellite ASTROSAT, which is expected to be launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the yea...
