Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope Master Catalog
The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) was one of three ultraviolet telescopes on the ASTRO-1 mission flown on the Space Shuttle Columbia during the period of 2 - 10 December 1990. The same three instruments were later flown on the Space Shuttle Endeavour during 3 - 17 March 1995, as part of the ASTRO-2 mission. Exposures were obtained on 70-mm photographic film in the 1200-3300 Angstrom range using broadband filters and later digitized using a Perkin-Elmer microdensitometer. The image resolution was 3 arcseconds over a 40 arcminute field of view and images of targets as faint as 21st (ultraviolet) magnitude were recorded. Overall, the UIT-1 mission obtained 821 exposures of 66 targets (361 near-UV and 460 far-UV), and UIT-2 obtained 758 images of 193 targets (all far-UV), for a total of 1579 exposures. This table contains only 1481 rows, 777 UIT-1 exposures (347 near-UV and 430 far-UV) and 704 UIT-2 exposures (all far-UV), implying that 98 exposures are 'missing' from this table. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VI/104">CDS Catalog VI/104</a> file uitlist.dat.
