AstroSat\u2019s Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope spots rare ultravioletbright stars in a massive intriguing cosmic dinosaur in the Milky Way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25a1 SIGNIFICANCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 Such UV-bright stars could be the reason for the ultraviolet radiation coming from old stellar systems such as elliptical galaxies which are devoid of young blue stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25a1 ABOUT :-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 AstroSat is India\u2019s first multi-wavelength space telescope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 It has five telescopes seeing through different wavelengths simultaneously \u2014 visible, near UV, far UV, soft X-ray and hard Xray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 Onboard the AstroSat is a 38-cm wide UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT), which is capable of imaging in far and near-ultraviolet bands over a wide field of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 AstroSat was launched on 28 September 2015 by ISRO into a near-Earth equatorial orbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25c7 A multi-institute collaborative project, involving IUCAA, ISRO, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (Mumbai), Indian Institute of Astrophysics (Bengaluru).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
