[41.32] EUVE Imaging Characteristics of Point Sources

M. Sirk (CEA/UCB)

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) grazing incidence telescope imaging capabilities of stellar sources are quantified and compared to theoretical models. The effect on the instrument point spread function by photoelectrons emitted from the bandpass filters is also demonstrated.

This work has been supported by NASA contract NAS5-30180.
