- Authors
Hutchings, J.
- Abstract
The UVIT telescopes are a payload package on the ISRO Astrosat observatory. They are co-aligned with three X-ray telescopes, and will operate simultaneously with them. The overall observatory is summarized, and details are given of the design, performance, and operation of the UVIT telescopes. These will offer close to arcsecond resolution over half-degree fields, simultaneously in FUV, NUV, and blue-visible bands. All bands have several filters and the UV bands have low-dispersion objective gratings.
